Cover Story: Nitrogen (N) deficiency in apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.) causes leaf and fruit discoloration. Fertigation enables precise nutrient delivery improving uptake efficiency. This study examined the effects of different fertilization treatments on N concentration across apple leaf age categories. The apple variety ‘Braeburn’, grafted onto M9 rootstock, was grown hydroponically in perlite and supplied with different Hoagland solutions. Young, semi-young, and old leaves were collected during the growing season and chemically analyzed. Nitrogen concentration varied significantly with fertilization treatment (1.69–2.37% N) and leaf age. Seasonal variation reflected interactions between leaf age and sampling time, underscoring the importance of targeted fertilization strategies. View this paper
