Abstract
Physiological problems observed during postharvest handling of deciduous fruit crops often originate during production as a result of climatic, nutritional, or other cultural factors. Sometimes the likelihood of a problem occurring is partially under genetic control. For a postharvest physiologist to be fully effective in evaluating a problem, he must know the cultural history of the commodity with which he is working. Similarly, the researcher studying cultural factors should know the relationships between treatment variables and quality traits. Often this can best be accomplished by collaboration of researchers working in both fields, but one individual with proper background and interest may also acquire relatively complete information. I consider this symposium highly appropriate to point out interrelations between plant nutrition and commodity quality, and the need for adequate information on quality aspects of nutritional research to enable accurate interpretation of results.

Abstract
Although nutrient deficiency symptoms for widely grown dicotyledonous crops are well-known and generally similar for a given element (5), deficiency symptoms of many elements on tropical monocotyledonous ornamental plants are unknown (4). Symptoms often differ dramatically among these taxa and may often be attributed to non-nutritional causes.
nutrition and productivity of orchard trees, and cash costs and returns are largely unknown in Pacific Northwest tree fruit production systems. The objectives of this study were to (1) examine the effects of synthetic polypropylene groundcover in the tree
