High costs of manual pruning and lack of skilled workers incline fruit growers to mechanical pruning. Mechanical pruning gives good results in the case of trees that do not require selective pruning, like citrus trees. This pruning method is also acceptable if the fruit is produced for industrial purposes. Twelve-year-old ‘Pinova’ apple trees grafted on dwarf M.9 rootstocks, spaced at 4 × 1.5 m, trained...
Mechanical harvesting of plum fruit cuts drastically costs of production. ‘Elena’ plum trees were planted, at a high density (4 × 1.0 m and 4 × 1.5 m) and trained to a horizontal canopy. The trees, trellised on wires 1 m above the ground, created a continuous, open-texture, fruit-bearing horizontal surface, 2 × 200 m long. Plum trees planted at the distance 4 × 1.5 m and 4 × 2.0 m trained to the standard...
Hail nets are necessary protection in some fruit growing regions. Several trials showed that the net color may influence tree growth and fruiting. The influence of hail nets on orchard light microclimate, growth, flowering and fruiting of apple trees was examined in field experiment in the years 2004–2010. ‘Šampion’ and ‘Rubinstar’ apple trees grafted on M.9, were planted in spring 2004. After planting,...
Dwarf and semidwarf apple trees planted at high density orchard are poorly illuminated when they come into full bearing. Insufficient illumination has adverse effect on apple red blush. Studies were carried out in years 2009–2013 in the Institute of Horticulture at Skierniewice. The object of the study were 12-year-old apple trees of ‘Jonagold’ and ‘Gala’. Trees were grafted on semi-dwarf M.26 rootstock,...
A study was carried out of shoot growth and branching, fruit bud setting and fruiting in four sour cherry cultivars: 'Debreceni Botermo', 'Nefris', 'Schatten- morelle' and 'Serocka'. Trees were planted at a high density (4 x 1.5 m), trained with a leader and pruned with the renewal method. A relationship was shown to exist between shoot length and fruit bud setting density. Trees of 'Debreceni Botermo'...
