1 Calcium Use in Apples: An Update M. Elena Garcia, PhD
2 Physiological role of calcium 4Calcium is perhaps the most important mineral determining the quality of fruit, particularly in apples and pears because these fruits are stored for long periods of time (Faust, 1989).
3 Physiological role of calcium 4Fruits with low Ca concentration 4More susceptible physiological disorders 4Bitter pit 4Cork spot
4 Physiological role of calcium 4Low Ca fruit 4Hasten fruit senescence 4Increased rate of softening of fruit 4Regulation of respiration 4Ethylene production inversely related to Ca concentration
5 Physiological role of calcium 4At the cellular level, Ca plays a binding role in the complex polysaccharides and proteins forming the cell wall
6 Physiological role of calcium 4In the outer cell membrane, lower Ca concentrations causes leakiness of the the membrane 4Modulates the transfer of extracellular signals into intracellular space
7 Physiological role of calcium 4The tissue Ca concentration at which these desirable effects is usually higher than concentrations that the fruit normally accumulates
8 Ca Levels 4Fruit Ca levels vary from year to year 4Between orchards 4Between fruit on the same branch 4Within the apple fruit
9 Ca levels in fruit
10 Ca uptake from soil 4Ca can be absorbed only by the young root tips that are not suberized. This area is behind the root tip
11 Ca uptake 4Ca moves from the soil into plant in a passive manner 4Within the plant it moves with the transpiration stream 4Intensity of transpiration controls upward movement of Ca
12 Ca uptake from foliar sprays 4Ca sprayed on leaves and fruits enters into the tissue mostly though openings such as the stomata and lenticels 4There is very little movement of the Ca once it is inside.
13 Factors affecting Ca absorption Sites of entry Concentration of soluble Ca in solution Time in solution Relative humidity Additives to solution
14 Ca Accumulations Genetically controlled Season Cultural practices Crop load Fruit size Position within tree Number of seeds Summer and winter pruning
15 4Research on foliar applications conducted mostly in the last 10 years
16 Factors influencing Ca Accumulations in apple fruit 4Cline et al., 1991 determined the seasonal pattern of Ca accumulation in Delicious apple fruit over four years and four growing seasons (MI, VA, MA, Ontario
17 Factors influencing Ca accumulations in apple fruit 4It was determined that regardless of temperature and precipitation, apple fruit had maximum Ca uptake early in the season 4Ca accumulation increased quadratically with most uptake early in the season, and little or no uptake three weeks before harvest
18 Factors influencing Ca accumulations in apple fruit 4In some instances, there was some Ca loss near harvest time. This loss did not appear to be associated with precipitation
19 Factors influencing Ca accumulations in apple fruit Fruit weight Ca accumulation
20 Factors influencing Ca Accumulations in apple fruit 4Crop load 4Large fruit has a tendency to have lower Ca concentrations 4In a study by Ferguson et al., (1995) of Braeburn, it was determined that fruit from light cropping trees have lower Ca content regardless of fruit size
21 Factors influencing Ca Accumulations in apple fruit Fruit mineral concentration, disorder incidence, and associated bourse leaf area from naturally light and heavy cropping trees (Ferguson, et al., 1995) Crop Load Minerals (mg/100g FW) Ca Mg K Disorders (% sound) Leaf area (cm 3 ) Heavy 4.4a 3.7a 106b 98a 131a Light 3.0b 3.8b 121a 91b 91b
22 Factors influencing Ca Accumulations in apple fruit 4Fruit position 4In a study of several apple cultivars in New Zealand, Vots et.al., 1994 investigated the effect of wood age on the mineral content of the fruit
23 Fruit mineral content (mg/100g FW) Cultivar Position Ft. Wt. (g) Ca K Mg Braeburn 2 yr spur yr lateral >3 yr spur Fuji 2 yr spur yr lateral year terminal Royal Gala 2 yr spur yr lateral year terminal
24 Factors influencing Ca Accumulations in apple fruit 4Role of spur leaves 4Lang and Votz (1998) conducted a study in New Zeland to determine the effect of spur leaf removal on xylem sap flow and Ca accumulation in apple fruit 4Partial defoliation at bloom reduced the accumulation of Ca in Royal Gala
25 Factors influencing Ca Accumulations in apple fruit Fresh fruit mass and Ca content for young Royal Gala apples 61 days after full bloom as affected by spur leaf defoliation at bloom (Lang and Voltz, 1998) Treatment Intact Leaf area (cm 3 ) 286 Fresh fruit mass (g) 14.6a Fruit Ca content (mg/fruit) 3.7a Defoliated a 2.2b
26 Factors influencing Ca Accumulations in apple fruit 4Seed number 4In a study by Tomala and Dilley (1990) in Poland, it was demonstrated that Ca concentration in McIntosh and Spartan but not Empire increased with the number of seeds.

29 Ca and Fruit quality 4Low Ca levels in fruit have been associated with with poor fruit quality 4Disorders 4Bitter pit 4Poor keeping quality 4Increased rates of softening 4Is there a relationship between the two?
30 Foliar applications and fruit firmness 4Numerous studies exist 4Most studies indicate that Ca sprays do help in controlling some disorders, but do not affect fruit firmness 4Some results indicate higher firmness after long term storage

33 Foliar applications and fruit firmness 4A study in Spain (1998) indicated that increasing the number of applications from 6 (standard) to 13 applications did not significantly affect fruit firmness.
34 Ca foliar sprays 4Does the formulation make a difference?

40 Calcium and Boron 4Boron (B) is an essential trace element 4Apple trees have high B requirements (25-45 ppm) 4B is important 4Pollen germination 4Pollen tube grwoth 4Successful fruit set 4Formation of feeder roots
41 Boron 4Both low and high concentrations cause poor fruit quality 4Low B 4Short storage life: higher susceptibly to storage breakdown 4Fruit deformities 4High B 4Higher incidence of internal disorders 4Watercore and internal breakdown
42 Boron 4 In a study conducted in Poland (1999) four B applications were compared 1. Soil application (2 g / tree) 2. Spray application 3 x before bloom (0.67 g per tree) 3. Spray application after bloom 3 x (0.67 g per tree) 4. No B
43 Boron 4Results: 4All treatments except for control increased B concentration in apple fruit 4Highest concentration was found in fruits sprayed after bloom and soil applications 4B sprays after bloom decreased fruit weight, fruit firmness, but increased fruit set, yield, and Ca concentration

48 Product A sells for $6.50 per gallon and is a liquid containing 15 % elemental calcium. The weight per gallon is 12 pounds. The label recommends 2 to 4 quarts per acre per application with eight applications suggested per season. You decide to apply 2 quarts per acre per application Product contains 15% elemental calcium lb x 0.15 = 1.8 lb of elemental calcium per gal. 4 You choose to apply 2 quarts (or 0.5 gal) per acre per application gal per acre per application x 8 applications per season = 4 gal of material per acre per season. 4 4 gal x 1.8 lb of elemental calcium per gal = 7.2 Ca /acre /pre season 4 Our recommendation is 4.0 to 14.0 lb of elemental calcium per acre per season gal x $6.50 per gal = $26.00 per season 4 $26.00 per season 7.2 lb of elemental calcium per acre per season = $3.61 elemental calcium per acre
49 Product B sells for $1.50 per pound and is a solid powder containing 30 % elemental calcium. The label recommends 3 to 4 pounds per acre per application with 8 applications suggested per season. 4 Product contains 30% elemental calcium. 4 1 lb x 0.30 = 0.30 lb of elemental calcium per lb of material. 4 You choose to apply 3.0 lb of material per acre per application. 4 3 lb per acre per application x 8 applications per season = 24 lb of material per acre per season lb x 0.30 = 7.2 lb of elemental calcium per acre per season. 4 Our recommendation is 4.0 to 14.0 lb of elemental calcium per acre per season lb x $1.50 per lb = $ $36.00 per season 7.2 lb of elemental season = $5. 00 elemental calcium per acre.
