The necessity of controlling the vegetative growth fruit trees is a growing concern for farmers since vigorous plants tend to have lower yields. use chemicals that inhibit plants, such as prohexadione-calcium (PCa), an inhibitor gibberellins which currently used regulator apple trees, agricultural practice aimed help in reducing pruning time and cost. Pear grafted on rootstocks present high rat...

ABSTRACT: The use of new rootstocks combined with different training systems have been studied to increase productivity, fruit quality, and reduce costs. Another important factor is the validation studies under replanting conditions, due growing limitation areas for planting commercial apple orchards in Brazil. present study aimed evaluate behavior ‘Fuji Suprema’ ‘Maxi Gala’ trees two grafted o...

Apple leaf characteristics are the most important vegetative growth and development traits. The apple rhizosphere is also indirectly responsible for development. It provides roots with elements compounds that improve roots’ shoots’ application of exogenous plant regulators such as strigolactones (SLs) has become one main trends improving enhancing microbiome. This study aimed to investigate eff...

Gerdmann and Trappe, Glomus intraradices Schenck and Smith or Glomus viscosum Nicolson on shoot apical growth of plantlets that had been micropropagated from MM 106 apple (Malus pumila L.) and Mr.S. 2/5 plum (Prunus cerasifera Ehrh.) rootstocks. Unfertilized and non-mycorrhizal plantlets showed no apical gro...

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...
