Yield, Fruit Quality, and Storability of 'Canino' Apricot in Response to Aminoethoxyvinylglycine, Salicylic Acid, and Chitosan.

Ethylene plays a pivotal role in the climacteric fruit ripening and senescence process. The effect of three ethylene inhibitors on the yield, quality, and storability of 'Canino' apricot fruit was studied. Foliar sprays of distilled water (control), aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) (150 and 100 mg·L), salicylic acid (SA) (4 and 2 mM), and chitosan (2.

New Insights of Potassium Sources Impacts as Foliar Application on 'Canino' Apricot Fruit Yield, Fruit Anatomy, Quality and Storability.

This is the first report to study the impacts of potassium sources on apricot fruit yield, quality and storability as a preharvest foliar application. Five sources of potassium (K-humate, K-sulphate, K-nitrate, K-silicate and K-citrate), plus water as a control treatment, were applied individually at 0.2% three times on 'Canino' apricot over the 2019 and 2020 seasons.
