Pepton displayed a tendency, almost significant, to improve ( p = 0.054) total fruit production both in control and NEC plants, thus showing an additive effect to low N priming in boosting fruit production.

In contrast, Pepton treatment did not additionally increase foliar N contents, but showed a trend to improve the RWC ( p = 0.081), an effect that appeared to be more apparent before than after pruning (week 4 relative to week 8; Figure 4 ).
