Summary: 1. Determine the relative importance of tree storage, soil and fertilizer N pools in meeting the nitrogen needs for pears grown under different soil and environmental conditions. 2. Determine uptake efficiency for pears grown under different soil and environmental conditions. 3. Investigate how soil texture, site-specific weather conditions, and soil organic matter may modify the uptake storage and utilization of fertilizer applied N at different locations. 4. Develop possible management strategies that incorporate soil and environmental factors into N fertilizer recommendations.
