Although the yield per tree of M trees was larger than that of G trees, there was no significant difference between the, G and M trees in the yield efficiency (yield per canopy volume). These results suggest that micropropagation caused reinvigoration, but not true rejuvenation. M trees ...
Cumulative yield efficiencies according to TCSA, canopy area, and canopy volume showed that 'MKR1'- and FDR-1-grafted trees produced fruit most efficiently, although the total yields per tree were not significantly different between rootstocks. There were no significant differences in fruit quality ...
Total shoot length per tree was greater in M trees, mainly due to an increase in the number of shoots, although average shoot length was about 30% higher as well. There was generally only a small effect on female flowering between the tree types, and no significant effect on male ...
Container culture in a green house advanced sprouting, leafing, flowering and fruiting, but delayed harvesting due to the high soil temperatures in containers prior to fruit maturation in summer. The sprouting and leafing were advanced by heating the whole tree but the harvesting was delayed. The ...
The influence of canopy position (sectors: N, S, E, W; tree height: top, middle and base) and shoot growth on fruit set, yield and fruit quality of the non-astringent persimmon cultivar Fuyu trained to standard modified central leader system was evaluated in subtropical Australia (Lat. 26...
When to cut the secondary shoots greatly affected tree development the following year. Compared with the cuts on August 25, those on July 25 exhibited two- to three-fold greater percentage of shoots that bore flowers and the most number of fruits harvested. Fruit weight was not an exception;...
This agrees with Clark and Smith [42] because these authors did not observe any major differences between the nutrient concentrations measured in the leaves sampled from fruiting or non-fruiting shoots. This finding suggests that the leaves in close proximity to fruit are not subjected to ...
Meanwhile, Fuyu (also known as Mizugosho) was first reported by Dr. Onda in 1902, and since then has rapidly spread. The Fuyu’s tree is robust and produces large fruits; however, excessive fruiting causes the lateral branches to droop, which in turn results in poor fruit growth and an ...
