Abstract：Fifteen-year-old Fuji apple variety Yanfu 1 was used as the material in this experiment . The effects of foliage spraying 0.05%, 0.10%and 0.15%boric acid on fruit quality and aroma components were studied with no boric acid application as contrast .The results showed that with the increase of boric acid concentration , the contents of soluble sugar and soluble solid in apple fruits showed rising trends , but there were no obvious differences in average single fruit weight , firmness and titratable acid content .The foliage ap-plication of boric acid at suitable concentration could significantly increase the kinds and contents of aroma components , and they increased gradually with the increase of boric acid concentration .
