Implication

Randomized trial observed phenology and yield changes in apple varieties across altitudes, suggesting climate impact.

Key Points

This study aims to assess how altitudinal changes affect the phenological stages and yield characteristics of apples under changing climate conditions.
Comparison of three apple varieties (Red Delicious, Royal Delicious, Golden Delicious) at different altitudes (1612–2054 m amsl in Baramulla and 1630–2084 m amsl in Shopian)
Measurement of flowering duration, fruit set, yield, and quality characteristics
Correlation analysis between yields and environmental factors like temperature, rainfall, and CO2
Flowering occurred earlier at lower elevations, with durations of 13–17 days in Baramulla and 16–22 days in Shopian
Fruit yield was highest at higher elevations despite lower altitudes producing heavier and larger fruits
Higher altitude fruits exhibited better chemical characteristics, such as increased TSS and total sugar content
