Liu, Sheng Hui published the artcileEffect of foliar iron sulfate on the fruit growth and quality of pineapple (Ananas comosus cv. Yellow Mauritius) planted in lateritic soil in Leizhou Peninsula, Recommanded Product: Methyl octanoate, the main research area is Ananas foliar iron sulfate fruit growth lateritic soil China.
Leizhou Peninsula in South China is facing a serious water shortage problem because of the special regional and geol. conditions. As a kind of low water requirement crop, pineapple has been popular in lateritic soil. However, the phys. characteristics of Lateritic soil such as too cohesive, impervious, low content of organic matter, and seasonal arid often bring some problem to pineapple cultivation. Seasonal iron deficiency can be easily observed from Apr. to July. The effect of foliar spray of iron sulfate (with concentration of 0, 0.5%, 0.75%, 1%) on the fruit growth and quality of pineapple cv. Yellow Mauritius were studied in this research. Showed that there were no significant difference (p>0.05) on the fruit weight, longitudinal diameter, transverse diameter among all the treatment. 0.75% treatment increased the fruit weight to 6.08% and decreased crown weight significantly. Both 0.75% and 1% iron sulfate treatment not only enhanced vitamin C extremely significantly, but also improved the aroma quality significantly with the increase of total esters, especially in the content of hexanoic acid Me ester, 3-(Me tio) propanoic acid Me ester and 2-methyl- butanoic acid Me ester. The content of these 3 esters above were all extremely significantly higher than control, which means much stronger pleasant aroma. Hence, 0.75% was the optimal concentration of foliar spray with iron sulfate in pineapple cv. Yellow Mauritius.
