Abstract

Abstract In ‘Delicious’ apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) trees affected by dead spur disorder (DS) no over-all deficiency was in N, P, K, Ca, amino acids, proteins, sugars or phenols as compared with healthy (CK) trees. N, amino acid and protein contents were higher in DS than in CK spurs on 1- and 2-yearold limb sections. Relatively low nutrient levels in DS spurs on 3-4-year old limb sections indicated that translocation of nutrients to these spurs was restricted. Phenol contents were lower in DS than in CK spurs. P and K contents were higher in DS than in CK spur leaves.
