Effect of shade cloth on fruit and leaf nutritional concentration and bitter pit incidence in ‘Fuji’ apples

ABSTRACT Shade cloth is commonly used to reduce incident light in apple (Malus domestica [Suckow] Borkh.) orchards. Nevertheless, this technology can generate changes in plant physiology that affect tissue nutritional composition and cause fruit nutritional disorders. The effect of shade cloth on th...

Nevertheless, this technology can generate changes in plant physiology that affect tissue nutritional composition and cause fruit nutritional disorders. The effect of shade cloth on the nutritional concentration of six macroelements and six microelements on leaves, six macronutrients in the fruits of ‘Fuji’ apples, and bitter pit incidence was assessed in a study conducted in a commercial orchard in south-central Chile for three seasons. Two treatments (control without shade cloth and 30% shade cloth cover) were evaluated with five replicates in a split plot design. Averaged results for the three seasons showed that shade cloth increased Mg, Mn, and Zn concentrations in leaves by 0.02%, 40 mg kg-1, and 5.5 mg kg-1, respectively, and decreased K, Mg, and S concentrations in fruits by 12, 0.35, and 0.38 mg 100 g-1 fresh fruit, respectively. Bitter pit incidence was not affected by shade cloth (values between 0.3% and 6.6%), but seasonal conditions did affect this abiotic disorder.
