Regarding the effects of soil and fertilization:

 

I read that if apples are produced with some degree of nitrogen deficiency, the fruit will be highly colored and store better. 

There was something I read about tomatoes being more acidic, something to do with copper... hmmm... maybe too much copper from it being used in fungicidal sprays.
