Integral procedure to predict bitter pit in ‘Golden Smoothee’ apples based on calcium content and symptom induction
(Elsevier, 2020-11-01)
Bitter pit has been described as one of the most important physiological disorders of apple fruit whose symptoms appear late in the season and during storage and which can cause high economic losses. ...
Physiological Study of Ethephon‑ and ACC‑Induced Fruitlet and Leaf Abscission in Peach Trees Under Diferent Conditions of Temperature
(Springer, 2022-12-16)
The efect of temperature on the ability of 2-chloroethylphosphonic acid (ethephon, ETH) and the 1-aminocyclopropane carboxylic acid (ACC) to induce ethylene production in fruitlets and abscission of ...
Potential of VIS/NIR spectroscopy to detect and predict bitter pit in ‘Golden Smoothee’ apples
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (INIA), 2021-04-16)
Aim of study: A portable VIS/NIR spectrometer and chemometric techniques were combined to identify bitter pit (BP) in Golden apples. Area of study: Worldwide Material and methods: Three different ...
Screening of eco-friendly thinning agents and adjusting mechanical thinning on ‘Gala’, ‘Golden Delicious’ and ‘Fuji’ apple trees
(Elsevier, 2018-05-30)
Fruit thinning is the most important yet difficult practice that drives orchard profitability. High labor costs and difficulty to improve return bloom by hand thinning have left chemical thinning as the ...
Differential response to calcium-labelled (44Ca) uptake and allocation in two peach rootstocks in relation to transpiration under in vitro conditions
(Elsevier, 2023-11-28)
Calcium-labelled (44Ca) uptake and transport under in vitro GreenTray® temporary immersion bioreactor conditions have been studied related to aeration conditions. For this aim, Rootpac®-20 (RP-20) and ...
Thinning flat peaches with ethephon and its effect on endogenous ethylene production and fruit quality
(Elsevier, 2020-12-06)
Peach orchards are usually hand-thinned at around 40–60 days after bloom, but this practice is labor-intensive and costly. Ethylene plays a key role in peach fruitlet abscission and foliar applications ...
Effect of thinning with metamitron, NAA, BA and naphthenic acids on apple (Malus domestica) trees
(Springer, 2023-02-06)
The successful use of chemical thinners on apples requires programs employing multiple chemistries over the thinning period. A thinning program can be designed using various active ingredients in single ...
Use of root pruning, paclobutrazol, and prohexadione-Ca combination strategies to control growth and improve productivity on pear trees
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria, 2019-07)
Growth control in pear orchards is essential, not just to reduce competition between vegetative and reproductive sinks, but also to improve return bloom, yield and fruit quality. The goal to optimize ...
Post petal fall applications of gibberellins improve fruit set on pear
(Elsevier, 2019-03-30)
Commercial pear production has become increasingly difficult over the last decade, with low fruit set being one of the main factors leading to poor yield of pear orchards. The use of gibberellins to ...
Responses of Ethylene Emission, Abscission, and Fruit Quality to the Application of ACC as a Chemical Thinner in ‘Flatbeauti’ Peach
(Springer, 2024-06-15)
Peach (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) trees are prone to heavy cropping, but crop load management options are limited. 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) has been suggested to reduce crop load and ...
