Abstract

Cherry is a highly profitable fruit crop, becouse of the value of its fruit. Along with other agrotechnical measures, proper fertilization ensures a better and higher quality yield. Macronutrients (N, P, K, Ca, Mg) play a significant role in achieving the aim in cherry production. In some phenophases, the roles of micronutrients, especially boron (B), also stand out. Fertilizers on a microbiological basis have a great contribution to the growth and development of fruit trees as well as the improvement of nutrient availability. Mycorrhizal fungi, like other beneficial fungi and bacteria play an essential role in success of fertilization. Certain problems in the production process, such as fruit cracking and some pests, can also be reduced by the application of certain nutritious. The nutrients, needed by the fruit, can be added over the soil surface, by fertigation or foliar. Deficiency of an element has harmful effects on the plant, but excess also can have a detrimental effect. With a properly conducted analysis of soil or plant material, we determine the precise need for nutrients, and like that we sustain environmentally friendly production. Also, an important mission in fertilization management is to preserve soil and environment in which plant is cultivates.
