ABSTRACT

We want to clarify the demand for mineral elements during the development of Prunus salicina Lindl. fruits and the effects of changes of mineral element concentrations on fruit splitting, thus contributing to the scientific fertilization and avoidance of fruit splitting after fruit set. The changes of mineral elements in leaves and fruits and the fruit splitting rate were recorded every 7-10 days from 45 days after anthesis. At maturity, the differences in the mineral element concentration between normal fruits and cracked fruits were compared. The results indicate that the concentration of N and Fe in leaves showed a lasting downtrend while that of P, K, Ca and Mg presented a fluctuating uptrend, among which Zn had the highest fluctuation degree. In fruits, the concentration of N, P, Ca, Mg and Zn dropped first and then stabilized. It was worth noting that the inflection points all appeared at 85 days after anthesis (when fruit splitting was observed); During the fruit development of Prunus salicina Lindl., N, K and Ca and Zn fertilizers should be supplemented to meet the huge demand of elements by leaves and fruits and re-duce fruit splitting.
