SummarySamples of fruit from Valencia orange trees that had been treated with either urea phosphate or potassium nitrate foliar sprays or with soil-applied potassium sulphate, were examined after standard commercial shipment and handling. In acceptability trials using a large taste panel, fruit from urea phosphate-treated trees had the highest ratings for freedom from skin blemishes, sweetness, a pleasant degree of acidity and fruit flavour; soil-applied potassium was associated with a tendency to tartness.
