Abstract

The present investigation was carried-out to estimate the foliar nutritional status of apple cultivar Starkrimson under high and low density planting systems at different locations. Highest leaf nitrogen content of 3.04 and 2.92% was observed in plants under low density plantation in Pulwama and Baramulla districts. Whereas, leaf content of phosphorous (0.25 and 0.25%), potassium (1.20 and 1.18%) and calcium (1.21 and 114%) were high under high density plantation at both districts. Non-significant differences were noted when the high density orchards of districts Pulwama and Baramulla were compared.
