Trees were selectively pruned by hand either...
Rootstock Effects on Growth and Flowering in Young Apple Trees Grown with Ammonium and Nitrate Nitrogen Ungrafted trees of seven apple rootstock cultivars, M. Maru. bakaidou (Malus prunifolia Borkh. var. ringo Asami; weeping type), and 'Fuji' (Malus domestics... YP Gao,H Motosugi,A Sugiu...
We measured the osmotic potentials of young citrus trees under nematode infection, stem girdling, and root pruning at two salinity levels. All treatments reduced leaf osmotic potentials at four sampling times. At harvest, 16 days after pruning and girdling treatments, organs with higher ...
Addition of tree or shrub prunings through alley cropping or biomass transfer systems have contributed to sustainable land-use systems in the tropics. Long term productivity of biomass transfer systems require shrub or tree species that coppice after cutting to provide sufficient plant nutrients. The ...
The literature suggests that pruning effects vary between young and mature citrus trees, depending on the type and placement of the branches cut and the changes in light interception before and after pruning. Therefore, variations in pruning form, severity, and tree age may have influenced the ...
citrus trees (Citrus reticulata Blanco), improving fruit quality and yield, promoting pest and disease control, reducing production costs, and decreasing alternate fruiting. It can be seen that the study provides objective evidence for the benefits of pruning in citrus tree cultivation [26]. Another...
Note: Wait to top young citrus trees until they’re 20 to 23 inches (50-60 cm) tall to prevent any potential damage. Topping citrus trees also helps shape them and can prevent you from having to do more extensive pruning as they grow. 9 Prune old, overgrown trees down to the main br...
Intensive scion rooting in 'Shiranuhi' mandarin [( Citrus unshiu 脳 C. sinensis ) 脳 C. reticulata ] trees contributed to reduced flowering, yield, and fruit quality at commercial mandarin orchards. To elucidate the effect of a cultural technique on controlling the loss of fruit quality and ...
Pruning treatments consisted of removing the shoot, root or shoot-root (combined) tips of young seedlings previous to planting. Most significant changes were produced by using the smallest containers and combined pruning. Most significant fresh and dry weight reductions were obtained in the smallest ...
Intensive scion rooting in `Shiranuhi' mandarin [(Citrus unshiu x C. sinensis) x C. reticulata] trees contributed to reduced flowering, yield, and fruit quality at commercial mandarin orchards. To elucidate the effect of a cultural technique on controlling the loss of fruit quality and yield, ...
