In perennial fruit crops, bearing can be influenced by various factors, including environmental conditions, germplasm, rootstocks, and cultivation methods. Cherries, one of the most important popular species from temperate climate zone, achieve high prices on market. New agricultural technologies factors force a change in approach to cherry cultivation. Old-type orchards, with their demand for ...

Summary Aim: In winegrape production, pruning, canopy management, and harvest are essential practices that increasingly being done by machines. How well these executed can substantially affect fruit yield quality. Mechanization offers timeliness, uniformity, cost benefits, but most methods available to date nonselective optimal execution requires careful attention vineyard des...

in order to prevent of inflorescence bud abscission and reduce of alternate bearing in pistachio cv. ‘ohadi’ an experiment with 12 treatments including of girdling, fruit thinning, application of urea (0.5%), sucrose (3 and 5%) and their combination with urea, zinc sulfate (0.05 and 0.1% of pure zinc) and also their combination with urea in 3 replication and during 2 stages, was conducted in 20...

37 Apple (Malus x domestica) is increasingly being considered an interesting model species for studying 38 early fruit development, during which an extremely relevant phenomenon, i.e. fruitlet abscission, may 39 occur as a response to both endogenous and/or exogenous cues. Several studies were carried out 40 shedding light on the main physiological and molecular events leading to the selective ...

The impact of grapevine red blotch virus (GRBV) on Vitis vinifera L. manifests predominantly as reductions in gas exchange, berry total soluble solids, and anthocyanins. Disease management is currently restricted by incomplete understanding spread thus limited to vine removal. present study investigated the potential irrigation cluster thinning improve fruit quality GRBV-infected Pinot n...
