Mechanical Thinning of Pecan Fruit

HortScience, 1990
Fruit of `Mohawk' in 1986 and 1988 and `Shoshoni' pecan [Carya illinoensis (Wangenh.) C. Koch] in 1986 were thinned during early August using a pecan shaker with modified shaker pads. Fruit removed ranged from 44% to 57% of the crop load.

Effect of Fruit Thinning on ‘Hosui’ Pear Fruit Quality and Yield

Bhutanese Journal of Agriculture, 2021
In Bhutan, naturally occurring local type of pears were grown. Asian or Nashi pears are recent introduction which have become quite popular in eastern Bhutan since it was promoted by Agriculture Research and Development Centre (ARDC) Wengkhar. Although, horticulture has been gaining momentum in recent years, many growers in Bhutan follow traditional ...

Fruit thinning of peach trees

Plant Growth Regulation, 2000
The present review deals with the importance of fruit thinning in peach.The date of treatment, the severity and the criteria underlying the practiceare discussed. Methods of fruit thinning are described, with particularemphasis on the use of chemical treatment as an alternative to handthinning. Strategies for chemical thinning are advanced.

The history of fruit thinning

Plant Growth Regulation, 2000
The history of fruit thinning is reviewed, beginning with hand removalof fruits, the effects upon subsequent flowering, and current attemptsto develop mechanical methods of fruit removal. Early experiments withcaustic compounds and growth regulators and their subsequent developmentas commercial practices are discussed, as well as the modes of action ...

Significance of flower and fruit thinning on fruit quality

Plant Growth Regulation, 2000
The effects of mechanical or chemical flower and fruit thinning on fruitquality were primarily by altering crop load. However, there were alsodirect effects of thinning agents. Fruit size was directly related tothinning intensity. In addition to crop load, age of wood, flower budquality, competition within clusters and canopy were important ...

Fruit thinning plums and apricots

Plant Growth Regulation, 2000
The need for crop load reduction to improve fruit size andconsistency of cropping on plum and apricot trees is discussed. Threealternative strategies of achieving this objective are described: byinhibition of flowering, prevention of fruit set or stimulation ofincreased fruitlet abscission.

EFFECTS OF MANUAL AND CHEMICAL FRUIT THINNING ON FRUIT SIZE OF 'SIMETO' MANDARIN

Acta Horticulturae, 2004
Simeto' mandarin hybrid was obtained from a cross between 'Miho' satsuma and 'Avana seedless' mandarin at University of Catania. 'Simeto' mandarin is very productive with excellent fruit quality, but its heavy crop often causes complete inhibition of vegetative growth and consequently induces alternate bearing.

Fruit thinning.

2008
AbstractOlive fruit thinning aims at reducing limb breakage, increasing fruit size, improving fruit quality and stimulating flower bud initiation for the following year's production. This chapter describes the effect of fruit thinning on leaf:fruit ratio and transport of assimilates. Different thinning methods are discussed, which include hand (removal

Carbaryl as a Fruit Thinning Agent

Journal of Horticultural Science, 1967
SummaryThe results are presented of fruit thinning studies carried out over several years with the apple varieties Laxton’s Superb and Worcester Pearmain.The thinning activity of carbaryl was negligible at 0·0028% a.i. but increased rapidly over the range 0·0083% to 0·075%.

Effects of fruit thinning on fruit and seed features of Cistus ladanifer

Plant Ecology, 2010
Fruit and seed features are the result of reproductive allocation decisions which ultimately depend on both plant availability of resources and total number of developing fruits. In this study, we manipulated fruit load in Cistus ladanifer plants by removing 0, 25 or 75% of developing fruits. Fruit features (total fruit weight, fruit-wall weight, total
