| Abstract:
Tropical highlands provide appropriate conditions for a successful production of apples. In the district of Boyacá (Columbia) there several apple orchards exist at altitudes higher than 2000 m. Due to a lack of cold periods, cultivars with low-chilling requirements such as 'Anna' are recommended. The CO2/H2O gas exchange measurements were carried out in two different orchards located at Silvania (altitude: 2215m) and Subachoque (altitude: 2615m). | |
