THE RELATIONSHIP OF ROOT GROWTH AND TREE VIGOUR FOLLOWING TRANSPLANTING
Arboricultural Journal, 1987Summary Soil characteristics have a major influence on root growth and development. On dense soils, such as those found on many urban sites, root systems are very shallow and widespread. Less than 5 percent of the root system is typically transplanted with the tree. Replacement roots originate from the callus formed near the cut surface. Initially many

Manipulation of vigour in tropical fruit trees
2015In recent years, growers of temperate tree crops have successfully adopted closer planting systems and smaller trees to achieve earlier cropping, high regular yields and improved management but in tropical fruit production such systems remain largely unexploited.

VIGOUR MECHANISMS IN DWARFING ROOTSTOCKS FOR TEMPERATE FRUIT TREES
Acta Horticulturae, 2004Dwarfing rootstocks have been widely used in the culture of apple and pear trees for a very long time. However, there is till almost no understanding of the plant mechanisms responsible for the dwarfing effect on the scion. The article first considers how the dwarfing effect is manifested in the scion’s growth.

Acta Horticulturae, 2022
In Australia, commercial tree size management in mango orchards involves annual machine hedging and heavy hand pruning. In tropical growing regions, heavy pruning often stimulates strong vegetative regrowth that is less likely to flower due to insufficient terminal growth-unit dormancy required for flowering.

Allelopathic Effects of Trees on Crop Seed Germination and Seedling Vigour-An Overview
Indian Journal of Forestry, 2000The studies carried out by various workers show the presence of phytotoxins in tropical Multipurpose trees. Suggestions for taking up further studies on their allelopathic effects have been made for reducing adverse allelopathic effects on associated weed and crop species.

STRATEGIES TO CONTROL TREE VIGOUR AND OPTIMISE FRUIT PRODUCTION IN 'CONFERENCE' PEARS
Acta Horticulturae, 2008The 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. Root pruning and trunk notching have become the major growth retarding methods.

Vigour reduction in girdled peach trees is related to lower midday stem water potentials
Functional Plant Biology, 2014Stem or trunk girdling is a technique used in physiological studies and in horticultural practice for interrupting carbon flow through the phloem to other parts of the plant without influencing water flow in the xylem. Trunk girdling in peaches is practiced primarily to stimulate fruit growth but it also tends to decrease shoot vigour for a period of ...

Tree vigour and the susceptibility of Douglas fir to Armillaria root disease
European Journal of Forest Pathology, 1998SummaryIn this study the effects of thinning, fertilization and pruning on the vigour of Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) and its susceptibility to Armillaria root disease were explored. Tree vigour was defined as the relative capacity for tree growth, expressed as the above‐ground biomass increment per unit of photosynthetic tissue, or growth ...

Tree vigour and yield of plum grown under high density planting system
Acta Horticulturae, 2016During the second through sixth growing seasons, under the environmental conditions of Cacak (Serbia), tree vigour, yield (kg tree-1 and t ha-1), yield efficiency, biennial bearing index and fruit weight were studied in five plum cultivars ('Cacanska Rana, 'Cacanska Lepotica', 'Cacanska Najbolja', 'Cacanska Rodna' and 'Stanley') grafted on myrobalan ...
