Summer pruning in fruit trees

The Effect of Fruit Trees Pruning Waste Biochar on some Soil Biological Properties under Rhizobox Conditions

The pyrolysis of fruit trees Pruning waste to be converted to biochar with microbial inoculation is a strategy improving the biological properties in calcareous soils. In order to investigate the biochar effect on some soil biological properties of the soil in the presence of microorganisms, a factorial experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design in the rhizobox under greenhous...

Mitigation of effects of extreme drought during stage III of peach fruit development by summer pruning and fruit thinning.

A water deficit during stage III of fruit growth was established with the aim of determining if it is possible to achieve an improvement in tree water status by summer pruning and fruit thinning. The experiment was set up as a randomized block split-plot design across trials (irrigation) where pruning was assigned to the main plot and fruit thinning to the sub-plots. The irrigation treatments w...

Pruning Decision Trees and Lists

Machine learning algorithms are techniques that automatically build models describing the structure at the heart of a set of data. Ideally, such models can be used to predict properties of future data points and people can use them to analyze the domain from which the data originates. Decision trees and lists are potentially powerful predictors and embody an explicit representation of the struc...

Pruning for Monotone Classification Trees

For classification problems with ordinal attributes very often the class attribute should increase with each or some of the explanatory attributes. These are called classification problems with monotonicity constraints. Standard classification tree algorithms such as CART or C4.5 are not guaranteed to produce monotone trees, even if the data set is completely monotone. We look at pruning based ...
