Apples under drought stress: AMALGEROL increased apple size and shoot growth

In 2014, Syria faced even more water stress (drought) than usual.

The farmer using AMALGEROL could observe big differences between his AMALGEROL-treated and the untreated apple trees in both varieties: "Golden Delicious" and "Starking".

The positive effect of AMALGEROL was clearly visible in both varieties. It comprised better shoot growth and much better size distribution of the apples which in turn is highly releveant for the price.

+ better shoot growth during dry year

+ much better apple sizes

Fig. 1. Left: Shoot growth was very decelerated in untreated apple trees due to dry wheater in 2014. Right: In contrast, AMALGEROL-treated apple trees showed a nearly normal level of shoot growth.
