Nutrição e manejo do solo em fruteiras de caroço em regiões de clima temperado

Abstract

The agronomic techniques adopted for stone fruit trees cultivation should be ecologically and economically sustainable. This implies that production processes, apart from improving fruit yield and quality, mantain or increase the value of natural resources, guaranteeng satisfactory incomes to growers. The paper discusses fertilization and soil management aspects for peach, fruit crop largely investigated, and other stone fruit species, with emphasis on the Italian fruit industry.
