THE EFFECTS OF CROP LOAD ON ´SANGIOVESE´ GRAPEVINES
Acta Horticulturae, 2005A study to evaluate the effects of crop load on the qualitative and quantitative fruit production as well as vegetative performance of grapevines was performed. The research was conducted from 2000 to 2002 on 12-year-old 'Sangiovese' grapevines grafted onto '420A'. The vines were spur pruned, the foliage was vertically trained and planted to a 3.0 by 1.

Variable-rate mechanical crop adjustment for crop load balance in ‘Concord’ vineyards
2018 IoT Vertical and Topical Summit on Agriculture - Tuscany (IOT Tuscany), 2018The purpose of this research was to illustrate the use of sensor-derived spatial data in generating management classifications and applying variable-rate vineyard mechanization to improve vine balance and fruit quality. In a commercial ‘Concord’ vineyard in Westfield, New York, data from proximal sensors were used to generate spatial maps of soil ...

Potential Nitrogen Load from Crop-Livestock Systems
International Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Information Systems, 2016The EU “Water” Directive establishes a common European framework for the environmental protection of inland, coastal and marine waters. One of the major environmental concerns about water quality is certainly the N loads from agro-livestock systems. In this study, carried out in Umbria region, Italy, a novel spatial database for a multi-scale and multi-

Abstract This chapter covers peach tree physiology and the physiological importance of fruit thinning. Various methods that have been developed to thin peach trees and some of the factors affecting the efficacy of these practices are discussed. Specific topics covered are: fruit growth and development; quantification of crop load; modification ...

Young apple tree responses to crop load
Acta Horticulturae, 2018Biennial bearing is a common and important issue facing apple growers that can result in losses in production of up to 30%, depending on cultivar. To study this issue, a collaborative project focusing on molecular, biochemical and whole tree physiological responses to variable crop loads was established between German research institutions and ...

Characterizing Crop-Waste Loads for Solid-Waste Processing
SAE Technical Paper Series, 2007<div class="htmlview paragraph">In long-duration, closed human habitats in space that include crop growth, one challenge that is faced while designing a candidate waste processor is the composition of solid-waste loads, which include human waste, packaging and food-processing materials, crop spoilage, and plant residues.

Precision Cropping Under Axial Load for Shaped Workpieces
1984In this paper, the authors present a new technique for producing precision shaped workpieces. By using the theory of cropping under axial load, prefiles with various sections can be directly cropped into precision workpieces, including sheet-shaped ones, which in the past have usually been made from sheets by the precision blanking method.

EFFECT OF FRUIT CROP LOAD ON PEACH ROOT GROWTH
Acta Horticulturae, 2006Field experiments were conducted on mature, late-maturing peach trees (‘O' Henry’) to study the influence of assimilate availability on root growth. Crop load was used to vary assimilate availability by imposing three different fruit thinning treatments: thinned to commercial fruit loads, unthinned and completely defruited.

Crop load and harvest maturity effects on consumer preferences for apricots
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 2014AbstractBACKGROUNDImproving apricot fruit quality delivered to consumers is key to ensuring a successful apricot industry. Previous studies have focused on effects of either soluble solids content (SSC) or fruit firmness on consumer preferences, and results have been equivocal. This study evaluated the effects of crop load and harvest maturity how they
