Fruit thinning with specific reference to citrus species : A review
Fruit thinning is defined as the removal of certain flowers or clusters of flowers or individual fruitlets after fruit set and natural dropping have occurred.it improves fruit yield and quality and return bloom for the following year.There are three types of thinning namely:hand,mechanical and chemical.Chemical thinning is the most common type of thinning.Various chemicals are used for thinning...
متن کاملRelationship Between Host Acidification and Virulence of Penicillium spp. on Apple and Citrus Fruit.
ABSTRACT Penicillium expansum, P. digitatum, and P. italicum acidify the ambient environments of apple and citrus fruit during decay development. They use two mechanisms for this: the production of organic acids, mainly citric and gluconic, and NH(4)(+) utilization associated with H(+) efflux. Exposure of P. expansum and P. digitatum hyphae to pH 5.0 increased their citric acid production, comp...
متن کاملEffects of Putrescine Application and Fruit Thinning on Fruit Development and Return Bloom of Olive cv. Fishomi Tokhme-Kabki
In order to investigate the effects of putrescine on growth and development of olive fruits an experiment was conducted on Olea europaea ‘Fishomi Tokhme-Kabki’ trees in 2017 and 2018.The treatments included control (normal fruits and shotberries), normal fruits, shotberries, normal fruits with putrescine at 3 and 6 mM and shotberries with putrescine at 3 and 6 mM were sprayed on uniform bra...
متن کاملFruit Self-Thinning: A Trait to Consider for Genetic Improvement of Apple Tree
In apple (Malus×domestica Borkh), as in many fruiting crops, fruit maintenance vs abscission is a major criteria for production profitability. Growers routinely make use of chemical thinning agents to control total fruit load. However, serious threats for the environment lead to the demand for new apple cultivars with self-thinning properties. In this project, we studied the genetic determinism...
متن کامل`McIntosh' apple fruit thinning by benzyladenine in relation to seed number and endogenous cytokinin levels in fruit and leaves
The relationship of 6-benzylaminopurine (BA)-induced fruitlet abscission to seed number and endogenous cytokinin levels in the fruit and leaves was examined in `McIntosh' apples (Malus domestica Borkh.). BA applied at the 10 mm stage of fruit development effectively thinned apple fruit and increased fruit size. The seed number of abscising fruit increased as BA concentrations increased. In pers...
