Abstract

ABSTRACT: This research studied the effect of the inducers acibenzolar-S-Methyl, potassium phosphite, and potassium silicate on the leaf mineral concentration of peach. The experiment was carried out in Tezontepec, Puebla, in the years 2017 and 2018. The treatments consisted of the foliar application of the resistance inducers acibenzolar-S-Methyl, potassium phosphite, and potassium silicate. Inducers were applied at commercially recommended dose. The experimental design was in randomized blocks with four replicates. Foliar quantification of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur, copper and silicon was carried out. The use of resistance inducers increases the leaf concentrations of calcium. The interaction of resistance inducers and years of application modified the foliar concentration of magnesium, phosphorus and sulfur in peaches.
