Apple Production Challenges and Solutions: A Global Perspective Description

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 have invited specialists 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
