In fruit orchards the foliar application of nutrients is very important especially in certain periods when fruit trees required important quantity of different compounds. The present study was aimed to determine the effect of foliar application of amino acids on yield and fruit quality of ʻRedixʼ apple cultivar. The field experiments were carried in two succesive seasons of 2016 and 2017, in a superintensive apple experimental orchard of USAMV Bucharest. The fertilizers utilized in this experiment were Terra sorb complex, Terra sorb foliar, Naturamin, Hit AA in different concentration. Fruit quality: average fruit size, weight, firmness, shape index (length/diameter) and also fruit chemical features: dry matter, total soluble solids content of fruits and fruit acidity were recorded. Results indicates that all the applied treatments were very effective in increase yield and fruit quality of ʻRedixʼ than control unfertilized.
