THE AVAILABILITY OF RADIANT ENERGY IN MECHANICALLY PRUNED PEAR TREES |
| Authors: | E. BALDINI, F. ROSSI, R. BARALDI, B. MARANGONI |
| Abstract:
Continuous mechanical hedging may lead to a marked decrease of spur and fruit formation in apple trees when the radiant energy in the canopy decreases to less than 30% of its exterior level /3/. Since no information is yet available on the relationship of radiant energy, tree arrangement and pruning method in pears, the present investigation attempts to address this subject. | |
