In this work are determined the prospects of application new complex fertilizer chelate “Naliv” for apple plants non-root nutrition in connection with optimization of economic yield formation in the Southern Russia organic plantations. The field experiment was carried out in the organic apple tree plantations of the educational farm "Kuban" of the KubSAU, planted in 2002. The experimental field soil is leached chernozem. Trees foliar dressing was carried out with organic fertilizer 40-45 days before harvest. Control variant was trees treatment with water. The accumulation of glucose and fructose, associated with a significant (1.4 times) increase in their average weight, activate in ripening fruits under fertilizer application as a late-summer foliar dressing. Equally, the economic yield increases by 14% compared to control value. The fertilizer application accelerates the generative apple bud dormancy beginning and, accordingly, dormancy ending. An increase in the abscisic acid content in generative buds in late autumn, initiated by the fertilizer action, plays a certain role in achieving this effect. Equally, the plants resistance to low temperatures of the spring increases. Thus, favorable conditions are created to improve the commercial quality of fruits and optimize fruiting in adjacent years under fertilizers application in organic apple plantations.
