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
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
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.

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
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
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

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.
