ISHS Acta Horticulturae 384: X International Symposium on Apricot Culture

EFFECTS OF WINTER AND SUMMER PRUNING ON THE YIELD AND FRUIT QUALITY OF PRIANA AND BELIANA APRICOT CULTIVARS

Authors:   A. Küden, N. Kaska
Abstract:
The experiment was carried out during 1991–1993 on Priana and Beliana apricot varieties. The trees were previously trained as modified-leader and the following applications were done on the trees in the experimental years:
  • Summer pruning winter + pruning
  • Winter pruning
  • Control (No pruning)

After the applications the excess of the pruning was weighed and the applications were compared. The effects of the pruning applications on the shoot development, yield and quality of the fruits were determined. On the other hand, the effects of breaking of apical dominance on the flowering time and amount were investigated.
