FRUIT AND FERTILISERS.
CAWTHRON INSTITUTE RESEARCH. By Telegraph—Press Association NELSON, August 19. In the course of an address on the research work of the Cawthron Institute in connection with the cool storage of fruit, Mr L. Tiller, a member of the staff, said: “Little is known at present concerning the detailed effects of various types of fertiliser on the storage quality of fruit, but there is considerable evidence to show that the keeping quality of fruit can be improved by the use of a well-balanced orchard manurial programme, designed to meet the needs of the trees to which it is being applied. If the growth of the tree is forced either by over-manuring or by employing an ill-balanced mixture, there is danger of the production of soft, large-sized apples, which will have only a short storage life.”
