Management for optimum apple fruit size
KCC answer
To increase apple fruit size, focus on proper pruning, thinning, and providing adequate nutrition, especially phosphorus. Thinning, done early after flowering, helps reduce competition among fruits, allowing the remaining ones to develop larger cell numbers and ultimately, size. Supplementing with foliar phosphate can also significantly increase the commercial grade of apples
