Abstract
The current study summarises information regarding previously applied agricultural practices in the field of apple cultivation. The presented practices have been conducted for a period of five years in an orchard with Florina variety apples – grafted on MM106 rootstock – as a part of conventional fruit production in the experimental field of the Department of Fruit Growing at the Agricultural University – Plovdiv.
This information, combined with future studies of soil composition, as well as vegetative and reproductive manifestations of plants, can be used to develop a database enhancing the access to knowledge and experience in the future and facilitating the comparison and selection of the most appropriate agricultural practices for apple cultivation.
