Says Nitrogen For
Apple Trees Should
Be Applied Early

Most apple orchard soils respond
to applications of nitrogen, and
much research has been directed at
finding the best time to apply this
plant food, says Albert F. Vier-
heller, specialist in horticulture for
the University of Maryland extern
sion service. Recent studies have
shown that best results come when
a supply of ready-to-use nitrogen
is built up in the tree early in the
spring. This can be done by add
ing nitrogen as soon as the frost
is out of the ground or just before
harvest in the fall.
Experiments indicate that 25-
year-old trees with average yields
of 60 pounds of fruit require ap-
proximately IL pounds of actual
available nitrogen each year to
keep them in good growing condi-
ton and produce the crop. Of
this, about 0.6 pounds is returned
to the soil in fallen leaves and
blossoms. "a pound of actual
nitrogen is contained in about 6
pounds of nitrate of soda or 5
pounds of sulphate of ammonia.
The heaviest demand for nitro
gen comes in spring and early sum-
mer when the trees are setting and
developing fruit, Mr.. Vierheller
points out. However, the tree can
not be expected to get all the nitro
gen it needs form the soil in this
period. Instead, it must draw upon
reserves of nitrogen stored in the
tree, particularly in the roots.
Nitrogen applied not more than
month before the crop ripens is
not likely to injure the quality or
color of fruit, the experiments in
dictate. When the time of harvest
of variety permits, the ideal time
for the main feeding of nitrogen is
from just before harvest to the
end of the growing season. Early
spring applications of nitrogen also
require an exact knowledge of the
trees requirements. Too much
nitrogen in summer will prevent
satisfactory coloring of the fruit
and may cause a heavy "drop" of
fruit before maturity. The expert
ments also suggest that where a
tree is set in the habit of alter
nate bearing it may be practical to
fertilize literally in the "off" year
and very little in the bearing year.
