Post-pruning shoot growth increases fruit abscission and reduces stem carbohydrates and yield in macadamia

open access: yes, 2011
Background and Aims: There is good evidence for deciduous trees that competition for carbohydrates from shoot growth accentuates early fruit abscission and reduces yield but the effect for evergreen trees is not well defined. Here, whole-tree tip-pruning

Mechanical shaking trials for citrus harvesting in Ventura County

open access: yesCalifornia Agriculture, 1971
Preliminary shaking tests in 1970 for citrus harvesting in Ventura County did not produce the desired percentage of fruit removal without damage to fruit or foliage.

Advances in abscission signaling

open access: yes, 2017
Abscission is a process in plants for shedding unwanted organs such as leaves, flowers, fruits, or floral organs. Shedding of leaves in the fall is the most visually obvious display of abscission in nature.

Successfull Blossom Thinning and Crop Load Regulation for Organic Apple Growing with Potassium-bi-carbonate (Armicarb(R)): Results of Field Experiments over 3 Years and with 11 Cultivars

open access: yes, 2012
With field trials over 3 years in a commercial organic orchard in Switzerland we have tested the efficacy of Armicarb® (potassium-bi-carbonate) for flower thinning in organic apple production.

Preliminary evaluation of low ethephon doses for inducing fruit abscission of macadamia (Macadamia integrifolia) cv. A16

open access: yes, 2003
High doses of ethephon promote fruit abscission of the late-abscising macadamia (Macadamia integrifolia) cv. A16. Concerns that associated leaf abscission may reduce subsequent yield led to an evaluation of low ethephon doses for inducing fruit ...

Towards stochastic simulation of crop yield: a case study of fruit set in sweet pepper

open access: yes, 2010
Crop growth simulation models are widely used in research and education, and their use in commercial practice is increasing. Usually these models are deterministic: one set of input values always gives the same output of the model.

Effects of the different flower/vegetative buds ratio on the peach fruit abscission and growth

open access: yes, 1983
Different ratios between fruit buds (FB) and leaf buds (LB) were realized by removing FB or LB before bud-break. Theoretical FB/LB ratios of 1, 2 and 4 were attained. 10 days before pit hardening half of the trees of each group were sprayed with CEPA (60

Effect of 2.4-d exogenous application on the abscission and fruit growth in sweet orange. var. salustiana.

open access: yes, 2012
The effect of 2.4-D applications in full bloom on the abscission and fruit growth process was studied on sweet orange fruit in 20-year-old trees of Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck cv. Salustiana with a high flowering level.
