Performance of a procedure for fruit yield estimation

2010 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, June 20 - June 23, 2010, 2010
Early estimation of expected fruit tree yield is important for the market planning and for growers and exporters to plan for labour and boxes. Large variations in tree yield may be found, posing a challenge for accurate yield estimation. We evaluated a multilevel systematic sampling procedure for fruit yield estimation.

The Effect of Shading on Fruitfulness and Yield in the Sultana

Journal of Horticultural Science, 1963
Two shading experiments on the sultana are described, a preliminary one in which shades of different intensities were used during October and November, and a main experiment in which shades reducing light intensity by about 70% were applied for different lengths of time between October and January.In the season of shading, bunch weight was reduced ...

Drought in Deciduous Fruit Trees: Implications for Yield and Fruit Quality

2012
In many production areas of the world deciduous fruit trees require irrigation to maximize yield and optimize fruit quality. Drought could therefore have a negative impact on fruit production. This chapter addresses yield and fruit quality responses of deciduous fruits (DF) to drought.

Effectiveness of Fruiting Sites in Cotton: Yield

Crop Science, 1990
The fruiting sites at which cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., plants set bolls that are harvested influence how well the plants tolerate insects. The objective of this research was to determine the fruiting patterns of eight cultivars of cotton in terms of fruiting sites of harvestable bolls when planted in a conventional pattern of rows spaced 1‐m apart ...

Development of a Yield Monitor for Citrus Fruits

2006 Portland, Oregon, July 9-12, 2006, 2006
A method to measure the per-tree yield of citrus fruits was developed based on three approaches. Initially, the problem was viewed as a variation on the theme of particle counting as performed earlier on flows of fertilizer particles. The main difference was that 1) citrus fruits are much larger than fertilizer particles 2) they travel at a ...

Fruiting Activity, Growth and Yield of Oil Palm. I. Effects of Fruit Removal

Experimental Agriculture, 1992
SummaryThe relation between current yield and future yield components in the oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) was investigated by removing a proportion of inflorescences before anthesis. This disbudding caused mean fruit bunch weight to increase by over 60%, with corresponding increases in the components of bunch weight.

Tree yield and fruit minerals concentrations influence ‘Hass’ avocado fruit quality

Scientia Horticulturae, 2002
To investigate the variation in quality of 'Hass' avocado fruit within an orchard, fruit were harvested at commercial maturity from 15 'Hass' trees of similar appearance, growing in three adjacent rows on the same soil type, and receiving similar management.
