Strategies to control tree vigour and optimise fruit production in 'Conference' pears [PDF]
Acta Horticulturae, 2008 The ban on the use of chlormequat (CCC) in pear orchards in 2001 forced Dutch pear growers to look for alternative methods to control tree vigour and stimulate flower bud development and fruit production.

Inheritance of Vigour Tree in F1 Apple Interspecific Hybrids
Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca, 2009 In ornamental apple breeding process, the vigour of the tree is an important characteristic, this trait being analyzed in selection of seminal descendants obtained by hybridization. The vigour of the apple trees was studied in 25 interspecific hybrids F1

Tree vigour, cropping, and phenology of sweet cherries in two systems of tree training on dwarf rootstocks [PDF]
Horticultural Science, 2010 Five cultivars and four rootstocks (Gisela 5, P-HL-A, P-HL-B, and Tabel Edabriz) were evaluated on trees in fruiting stage trained like spindle and on trellis. Tree vigour was significantly related to cultivar, rootstock and to tree training.

Phytopathologia Mediterranea, 2021 Fire blight, caused by Erwinia amylovora, is a severe disease of pear (Pyrus communis). Highly vigorous trees are more sensitive to E. amylovora damage after summer pruning. Trees grown in high-density orchards have lower vigour than those in low-density

Windthrow causes declines in carbohydrate and phenolic concentrations and increased monoterpene emission in Norway spruce. [PDF]
PLoS ONEWith the increasing frequencies of extreme weather events caused by climate change, the risk of forest damage from insect attacks grows. Storms and droughts can damage and weaken trees, reduce tree vigour and defence capacity and thus provide host trees ...

Dehydrogenaze polymorphism as a tool for early selection of low vigour rootstock for sweet and sour cherry [PDF]
Journal of Agricultural Sciences (Belgrade), 2017 The correlation of dehydrogenase isoenzyme profile with plant/tree vigour of twenty genotypes belonging to the genus Prunus and the subgenus Cerasus as well as to four commercial rootstocks (Colt, Gisela 5, Gisela 6 and MaxMa 14) was ...

Tree vigour influences disease susceptibility of 'Hass' avocado fruits [PDF]
Australasian Plant Pathology, 2004 Differences in tree vigour as a result of feeder root destruction by Phytophthora cinnamomi were found to significantly (P < 0.05) influence disease susceptibility, fruit ripening rates and fruit size of ‘Hass’ avocado. Fruits from root rot-affected, non-vigorous trees had less anthracnose and took longer to ripen.

Using longitudinal survival probabilities to test field vigour estimates in sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) [PDF]
, 2008 Tree mortality is a major force driving forest dynamics. To foresters, however, tree mortality is often considered a loss in productivity. To reduce tree mortality, silvicultural systems, such as selection cuts, aim at removing trees that are more likely
