Abstract

Calcium (Ca) plays major roles on the storage life and quality apples. In this study, the influence of calcium chloride (CaCl2) and two organic calcium compounds including Calcicat and Folical at four different times of application on the quality and shelf life of Granny Smith apples during two growing seasons. Quantitative and qualitative attributes were evaluated at harvest and after three- and six-months cold storage. In the first year, Folical all-season and mid-season sprays resulted in a significant increase in Ca concentration. In the second year, early-season spray resulted in significant Ca increase compared to control.
