Abstract/Contents: | "Spartan apple trees on M-26 (Malus domestica Borkh.) rootstock, planted in 1983 were grown for 8 yr (1985-1992) at 60 and 180 kg N ha⁻]1 yr⁻]1 with five orchard floor vegetation management treatments. A white clover cover over the whole orchard floor increased leaf N concentration relative to complete sod cover, but had negative effects on tree vigour and yield. Maximum vigour and yield occurred when in-row weed competition was controlled in 1.5-m-strip, regardless of orchard floor vegetation beyond the strip." |
