The effect of the use of different organic fertilizers on formation of aroma compounds in cv. Golden Delicious apples was investigated. Results from the first year of the study suggested that the application of three different organic fertilizers did not reflect on marked univocal differences in the profile of aroma compounds in the fruits. Nevertheless, some effects of the fertilization were observed; therefore the use of different organic fertilizers, characterized by different efficiency in N mineralization, seemed to have the potential to significantly affect the formation of aroma compounds in apple fruits.
