Abstract

Techniques to improve fruit firmness and quality in apricot would enhance marketability.
We have evaluated foliar sprays of calcium (Ca; calcium and ammonium salts of carboxylic acid complexes: CA [ooc-(CHOH)n-coo] n=3,4; (NH4)² [ooc-(CHOH)n-coo] n=3,4; Nutrical®, CSI-Nutri-Cal, Bondurant, Iowa, USA), and the ethylene biosynthesis-inhibitor, ReTain®, (AVG, aminoethoxyvinylglycine, Valent Corp., Libertyville, Illinois, USA), to determine effects on apricot fruit firmness and maturity.
ReTain® applied from about 1 to 3 weeks before harvest at 124 g a.i.ha improved firmness by 1 to 7 N. Multiple sprays of Nutrical® applied from ~2 to 4 weeks after full bloom at regular intervals through the season improved firmness, but inconsistently with regard to cultivar and season.
Nutrical®appeared to advance fruit maturity (color, soluble solids and size). The most consistent results we have had to-date for improvement in fruit firmness (by 10 to 25 N) have been with Ralex® (gibberellin A3; 50, 100 gL^-1, Valent Corp., Libertyville, Illinois, USA), but both ReTain® and Nutrical® show efficacy and further research is warranted to maximize and validate the potential of these chemical sprays.
