including adequate moisture and nutrient supply. Any restriction to uptake, such as low temperatures in the soil, excessive water, or dry conditions can affect early Ca uptake, when it is most important. If the orchard has excessive vigor, is in its off year...
however, is usually on starch-rich cereals and ignores or underestimates the vital importance of horticultural crops. These perishable commodities are often nutrient-dense with bioactive phytochemicals, the consumption of which
Nutrient profile of wild fruit A common belief about wild fruit is that it’s generally lower in sugar and digestible carbohydrates than our modern varieties. Although most of the world’s wild fruits are relatively unstudied (making it difficult to analyze this claim), we do have information o...
[61], though, eCO2 may restrain N acquisition and uptake, leading to N deficiency and growth limitation. As eCO2 decreases transpiration rates, it may cause a decrease in the mass flow, thus reducing nutrient absorption and transport to the upper plant parts. eCO2 seems to have beneficial ...

Rising populations and crop nutrient deficiency are substantial worldwide issues that require sustainable solutions [1,2,3]. Protected cropping facilities provide precise environmental control to promote year-round high yielding crop production [4], yet energy consumption can be a limiting factor [5]....
It has been reported that in ‘Kurenainoyume’ apples, spraying calcium (Ca), boron (B), or both on the tree could not decrease the incidence of cork spot [24]. In our results, the contents of B and Ca were highest in HQ and lower in the fruits from the orchard with cork spot ...
