To summarize this conference, it is apparent that there is 

 world-wide interest in expanding the benefits now being obtained 

 from CA storage. It can be argued that many of the findings in 

 other areas are not applicable to our own situations and problems, 

 but if one is to evaluate current trends and gamble on future devel 

 opments, he needs to know just what is happening. CA is clearly a 

 large part of the future of produce handling around the world, and 

 periodic conferences like this one are needed to coordinate inform- 

 ation and ideas on the subject.

Nitrogen level of Mcintosh apple trees in 1968 



Nitrogen (N) is a 

 It has been stated 



difficult nutrient to regulate in fruit trees, 

 that all nutrients except N can vary over a considerable range 

 without harmful effects on tree performance or crop quality. In 

 practically e'^ery orchard sampled in 1968, the N levels were with- 

 in tlie desirable range for bearing Mcintosh trees (1.80-2.00 percent 

 on a dry weight basis). To the contrary, in 1967, leaves sampled 

 from 29 bearing Mcintosh blocks in Massachusetts and southern New 

 Hampshire showed that the N level in these blocks averaged 2.3 per- 

 cent which is in excess of the N levels conducive to good red color 

 development. We were fortunate that the hot weather during the 

 1968 harvest season was not confounded with excessively high N lev- 

 el s .
