Nutrient management is a determining element of the technology in fruit quality. Significance of foliar fertilization has been increased continuously over the last years, as it can directly improve the vegetative and generative performance of the trees. In this study we aimed to evaluate the effect of the radicular (NPK+S) and foliar (Cropmax) fertilizer on fruit quality parameters in a peach orchard during 2019 -2021 period. According to our results, the weight of the fruits increased by 40% in the b1 treatment and 64% in the b2 treatment at Filip cultivar and by 27% in the b1 treatment and 49% in the b2 treatment at Catherine sel. 1 cultivar in the three years of study compared to the control treatment. In conclusion, the fruit quality can be improved in peach orchard using radicular and foliar fertilizers.
