Flowering in ‘Honeycrisp’ Apple Shows That Spurs Are Semiautonomous Organs
Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 2023 Irregular flowering and biennial bearing are challenging in many apple (Malus ×domestica) cultivars such as Honeycrisp. Apple flowering is influenced by many factors including crop load, fruit weight, seed number, and bourse shoot length.

Fruitlet Thinning Reduces Biennial Bearing in Seven High-tannin Cider Apple Cultivars
HortScience, 2023 Many European apple (Malus ×domestica Borkh.) cultivars used for making alcoholic cider have a highly biennial bearing habit. To determine target crop load recommendations, seven cider cultivars grown in a high-density orchard were hand-thinned to crop ...

Comparing Novel Sweet Cherry Crop Load Management Strategies [PDF]
HortScience, 2005 The development of novel crop load management techniques will be critical to the adoption and success of high density sweet cherry orchard systems based on new clonal rootstocks. Herein we report on a comparison of potential means of balancing crop load of `Bing' sweet cherry grown on the productive and precocious rootstocks `Gisela 5' and `Gisela 6 ...

Considerations on spatial crop load mapping
Australian Journal of Grape and Wine Research, 2018 Crop load, the ratio of vine size to mass of fruit harvested, is fundamental to viticulture. Measuring vine size and crop yield, the components of crop load, has historically been a labour intensive exercise that has limited the use of crop load information to improve management in vineyards.

Machine Vision-Based Crop-Load Estimation Using YOLOv8
, 2023 Labor shortages in fruit crop production have prompted the development of mechanized and automated machines as alternatives to labor-intensive orchard operations such as harvesting, pruning, and thinning. Agricultural robots capable of identifying tree canopy parts and estimating geometric and topological parameters, such as branch diameter, length ...
