Postharvest and Preharvest Summer Pruning of ‘Firebrite’ Nectarine Trees
Abstract The effect of postharvest and preharvest summer pruning techniques on photosynthetic photon flux densities (PPFD) and yield characteristics were studied in mature ‘Firebrite’ nectarine [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] trees. Treatments 14 days after harvest included unpruned control, hand-topping, interior watersprout removal (WSR), and ...
