Distribution of macro and micronutrients in ´Rojo Brillante' persimmon and its influence on fruit quality

Abstract

The cultivation of Persimmon cv Rojo Brillante in Spain has exponentially growth for the last two decades. The nutritional requirements can vary among persimmon varieties and for "Rojo Brillante" there are no studies that relate the nutrient status with fruit quality parameters. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of macro and micro nutrients concentration in leaves and in fruit flesh on the fruit quality throughout ripening.
