processes become even slower and the firmnessof the fruit is maintained for a longer period oftime (30 days).The organoleptic quality of the Delta cultivarnectarines is better appreciated (89.95 points)at harvest, the fruit having a yellow, juicy pulp,with a balanced, sour-sweet taste. Duringstorage the quality decreases faster than it doesat other studied cultivars (Cora), so that it isindicated that the valorization process becarried out faster because the storage capacityof this cultivar is lower.The fertilization of the nectarine tree culturewith the Murtonik foliar fertilizer (20:20:20 +microelements: Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, B-chelation)resulted in the enriching of the fruit in drysoluble substance (11.24%) and solublecarbohydrates (8.32%). Moreover, the usage oforganic fertilisers led to the obtaining ofnectarines with a high content of thesebiochemical compounds (11.10% and 8.57%,respectively). During storage the content of drysoluble substance increased, while that ofsoluble carbohydrates and malic aciddecreased, the intensity varying according tothe temperature and the gaseous composition ofthe air in the storage place. The AM storagerecorded the best results regarding the slowingdown of the rhythm of the metabolic processes.The quantitative and qualitative losses recordedduring the storage of the nectarines are greatlyinfluenced by the fertilising regime applied tothe culture. In the case of supplementing thechemical fertilization of the soil with theMurtonik foliar fertiliser the weight losses andespecially those caused by attacks fromdiseases were substantially smaller ascompared to those recorded in the case of thecontrol. From this point of view, good resultswere also obtained in the case of fertilising theculture with organic fertilizers, which containminerals which enhance the quality of the fruitand their resistance to diseases during storage.The maintaining of the nectarines’ qualityduring valorization is also influenced by theenvironmental conditions ensured during thisprocess and especially by the temperature. Buusing the cold method the metabolic processesand the developing of fungi and moulds aregreatly slowed down, so that the losses weresignificantly reduced at all variants of fertilization.The average reduction per cultivar was of54.19% in the case of total losses, 90.12% inthe case of quantitative losses and 34.21% inthe case of depreciation losses. Using the AMstorage method led to an important decrease inboth weight losses (97.93%) as well as indepreciation losses (75.62%).REFERENCESAlexe Constanta, M.
