PREHARVEST EFFECTS ON STORAGE QUALITY 
A number of preharvest factors may affect the storage quality of apples. 
Research designed to examine some of these factors since 1945 has included 
studies of the nutritional status of the trees, climatic conditions (especially 
near harvesttime), and orchard sprays that have been used, particularly those 
sprays used to reduce preharvest drop. 
Nutrition and Fertilizers 
Reviews in the literature since 1945 pertaining to the effects of nutri- 
tion and fertilizer usage on storage quality are contained in a number of re- 
ports (LOs.25, 32). 1/ Many of the citations in these references are to work 
prior to 1945. 
Studies on the effects of fertilizers on apple quality or storage life 
have generally shown nitrogen to exert more influence than any other element,
