Exploring Within-tree Architectural Development of Two Apple Tree Cultivars Over 6 Years

Tree Growth Yield and Fruit Quality of Different Apple Cultivars Trained as Super Spindle

This study was carried out on Topaz, Cooper 39 and Muscat apple cultivars grafted on M27 rootstocks under Tokat ecological conditions during 2008 2010. The trees planted in 2.0 m x 0.5 m row spacing (10,000 trees ha-1) and trained to super spindle (SS) training system. The vegetative development, yield and fruit quality performances of the trees supported by wire – pole combination were observe...

Apple Tree Physiology – Implications for Orchard and Tree Management

INTERNATIONAL DWARF FRUIT TREE ASSOCIATION Apple yield and fruit quality are the end result of myriad cultural practices (e.g., pruning, thinning, spraying), environmental inputs (e.g., light, carbon dioxide, water, nutrient supply) and physiological processes (e.g., leaf area development, light interception, photosynthesis, respiration). All of them are truly essential contributors to fruit pr...

Within-tree diurnal evolution of net photosynthesis and transpiration of fruiting branches in two apple cultivars : influence of branch structure, geometry and orientation - a structure-function modelisation approach

Godin et al., pp. 330-334 Within-tree diurnal evolution of net photosynthesis and transpiration of fruiting branches in two apple cultivars : influence of branch structure, geometry and orientation a structure-function modelisation approach Catherine Massonnet, Jean-Luc Regnard, Bo...

effect of kaolin on tree physiology, superficial sunburn and fruit quantitative and qualitative characteristics of two commercial apple cultivars

this study was carried out to examine the effects of kaolin spray for reducing the adverse effects of high radiation and temperature, especially on fruit sunburn in apple. treatments were four concentration of kaolin (0, 2, 4, and 6%) and two important and commercial apple cultivars in fars province; ‘golden delicious’ and ‘starking delicious’. trees physiological parameters, fruit sunburn and ...
