METABOLIC PROMOTERS AFFECT YIELD AND FRUIT QUALITY OF 'SANFILIPPARA' AND 'TRABIA' LOQUAT
2015
Preliminary field trials with foliar applications of phenylalanine, methionine, oxylipins and sugars have shown improvements of external color, sugar content and uniformity of maturation in grapes, pome fruits, tomatoes and melons. In this study, we hypothesized that similar improvements could be obtained both in fruit of âTrabiaâ and âSanfilipparaâ loquat (Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.) with applications of a commercial formulate called Sunred (Biolchim, Bologna, Italy) and containing various concentrations of the above metabolic promoters. The study was conducted on 12 âSanfilipparaâ and 12 âTrabiaâ adult loquat trees grown in an orchard near Palermo, Italy. Half of the trees…
