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 ...

Seed-drill opener type and crop residue load affect canola establishment, but only residue load affects yield [PDF]

, 2019
Handling crop residue during planting operations is a challenge to conservation agriculture (CA) farmers worldwide. It remains unclear which tools are most effective in which conditions. Canola (Brassica napus L.), an oilseed crop widely used in rotation

Plant Growth Regulators Modify Fruit Set, Fruit Quality, and Return Bloom in Sweet Cherry

HortScience, 2021
Sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) is a valuable fruit crop worldwide. Farmers’ incomes are closely related to fruit quantity and quality, yet these can be highly variable across years.

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.

Effects of Rootstock, Tree Density and Training System on Early Growth, Yield and Fruit Quality of Blush Pear

HortScience, 2021
Vegetative growth, orchard productivity, fruit quality and marketable yield were evaluated for rootstock (D6, BP1 and Quince A), tree density (741–4444 trees/ha), and training system (Open Tatura trellis, two-dimensional vertical and three-dimensional ...

Effect of crop load on fruit quality of ‘Fuji’ apple

Acta Alimentaria, 2013
To study the effect of the crop load on fruit quality of the cultivar ‘Fuji’ apple, in a two-year experiment, fruitlets were hand-thinned to six, eight, ten and in the second year, to twelve fruit per cm2 of the trunk cross-sectional area (TCSA). With increasing crop load, yield and the proportion of small fruits increased, but mean fruit weight ...

Effect of complementary irrigation on yield components and alternate bearing of a traditional olive orchard in semi-arid conditions

Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2016
Traditional olive orchards are usually not irrigated in the Mediterranean basin, but at those latitudes, the yearly rainfall is frequently insufficient to support equilibrated vegetative growth and high fruit and oil production.

Rootstock–Scion Hydraulic Balance Influenced Scion Vigor and Yield Efficiency of Malus domestica cv. Honeycrisp on Eight Rootstocks

Horticulturae, 2021
Rootstocks with internal hydraulic limitations can effectively restrict scion growth, influence crop load, and improve yield efficiency in apple production.

Mango Fruit Load Estimation Using a Video Based MangoYOLO—Kalman Filter—Hungarian Algorithm Method

Sensors, 2019
Pre-harvest fruit yield estimation is useful to guide harvesting and marketing resourcing, but machine vision estimates based on a single view from each side of the tree (“dual-view”) underestimates the fruit yield as fruit can be hidden from

Comprehensive Effect of Different Crop Loads on the ‘Shine Muscat’ Quality

Shipin gongye ke-ji
To investigate the effects of different crop loads on the overall quality of 'Shine Muscat', this study was conducted to regulate the crop loads by berry thinning and to evaluate the sugar, acid and phenolic contents, antioxidant activity and economic ...
