Apple Production Challenges and Solutions: A Global Perspective 

How do we increase apple yields profitably without significantly increasing inputs? Challenges with balancing nutrient levels (Ca, Mg & K), bitter pit, high prices of inputs, and market fluctuation are common for apple producers across the globe.

Tapping into ICL’s network of +200 agronomists, we invited specialist Dr. Diana Wieczorek from ICL’s Apple Crop Expert Group to discuss key global learnings, new research, and best practices from a U.S. perspective.

The panel, led by Dr. Jason Haegele, ICL’s North American Agronomy Lead Agronomist, will explore:

  • Common challenges and opportunities for apple producers
  • Maximizing inputs with application approaches
  • Strategies to increase yield and quality without significantly increasing inputs
  • New local and global apple trials.

This webinar was moderated by Fruit Growers News and hosted by ICL Growing Solutions.
