| Abstract:
Apples and peaches are grown in several locations in the tropics where no chilling is received. The culture depends on defoliation to induce the next growth cycle after flower initiation has occurred but before cold-requiring dormancy arises. A computer programme was developed to compare meteorological data for a large number of sites with data for "proven" sites. Potential sites were identified in Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam. | |
