The effects of Nutra-Phos 24, Sobra-Spray ZKP and calcium chloride applied as foliar fertilizers on the postharvest susceptibility of raspberry fruit (cultivar Heritage) to B. cinerea were tested. Susceptibility, Ca and K contents, K:Ca ratio, and the fruits' resistance to pressure were determined after 7-d storage at 0 deg C and RH 95%. Nutra-Phos 24 and Sobra-Spray ZKP increased fruit resistance to B. cinerea and resulted in an increased Ca content, a decreased K:Ca ratio and better resistance to pressure.
