“…This effect might be due to the increased rate of photosynthesis led by more light penetration into the interior tree canopy which in turn led to increase in quality of mango fruit. Similar results on fruit quality properties were reported by Anonymous (2011), Reddy and Kurian (2011) and Singh et al (2010), Patel et al (2013) in mango and Venkataramudu et al (2018) in pomegranate.…”

“…While, a greater number of leaves were recorded in 5.0m height pruning during the months of August (25.0), September (20.0) and October (16.0). Singh et al (2010) studied endogenous phytohormones changes after pruning in three mango cultivars, viz. Amrapali (2.5m×2.5 m), Mallika (4.0m×3.0m) and Dashehari (3.0 m×2.0 m).…”

India has witnessed incredible growth in the production of fruit crops in recent years due to specific interventions in crop improvement, production and postharvest aspects. India ranks second in fruit production in the world, after China. However, the productivity per unit area is very low compared to the other mango growing countries. The old, unproductive and seedling origin mango orchards are now reverting to a low production trend of mango fruit production because of plant age and poor canopy management. The present review paper aims at importance of rejuvenating the old and unproductive orchards for sustaining their production capacity without fresh plantation. The rejuvenation technology may help old, seedling origin and senile orchards for sustainable fruit production with higher growth and fruit quality characteristics viz., fruit-weight, fruit colour, TSS, acidity and shelf-life etc.

“…The unpruned trees had the lowest yield at approximately 64 kg/tree. These findings align with a study by Umar et al [37], which found that severe pruning of 12-year-old 'Kinnow' mandarin trees improved yield compared to light or no pruning. Similarly, Salem et al [38] reported that increasing pruning severity resulted in the highest increase in fruit retention percentage for 'Balady' mandarin trees compared to the control.…”

Pruning is an essential practice that helps control branch growth, optimize fruit size, and enhance fruit tree productivity. This study focused on ‘Valencia’ orange trees, which had experienced a decline in productivity after being cultivated on reclaimed lands for several years. The aim was to explore the impact of pruning intensity on vegetation growth, fruit yield, productivity, and fruit quality in these orange trees. The study involved 35-year-old ‘Valencia’ orange trees, which were subjected to four different levels of pruning. The pruning treatments included: T1—no pruning (control group), T2—light pruning (removal of 25% of main branches), T3—moderate pruning (removal of 50% of main branches), and T4—heavy pruning (removal of 75% of main branches). Each season, these pruning measures were consistently carried out on 15 February. The results indicated that the severity of pruning directly influenced vegetative growth parameters, such as shoot length and leaf area. As the pruning intensity increased, so did the growth of the vegetation. However, the overall volume of the tree’s canopy decreased compared to the control group. These findings provide insights into the relationship between pruning practices and the growth and productivity of ‘Valencia’ orange trees. The highest fruit yields were observed when pruning was carried out at a severity level of 75%, followed by 50 and 25%. These pruning treatments had a positive impact on various aspects of fruit quality, including weight, size, firmness, juice content, TSS (°Brix), TSS/acid ratio, and vitamin C content. Additionally, pruning contributed to a greater fruit yield per tree and an overall increase in the yield percentage. In essence, the findings suggest that pruning performed at different severity levels in February effectively promotes vegetation growth and enhances the physical and chemical properties of ‘Valencia’ orange trees. Notably, it resulted in a nearly 20% rise in fruit yield compared to the control group.

Nitrogen fertilization ensures the proper growth of trees. The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of differentiated nitrogen fertilization on selected parameters. It was assumed that such analysis is an indirect picture of the needs of cherries grown in herbicide fallow. The content of minerals in two layers of the soil, in leaves, and its influence of tree growth, and the content of chlorophyll in leaves were assessed. The experiments were carried out in three different cherry orchards. Three levels of fertilization were applied in each orchard: 0 kg, 60 kg and with 120 kg N ha- 1. As expected the fertilization resulted in an increase in the content of nitrate and ammonium forms of nitrogen in the soil, however, their content was also dependent on precipitation and temperature. Additionally a high nitrogen fertilization increased the content of phosphorus and potassium and decreased the magnesium in the topsoil layer. High nitrogen fertilization caused the decrease of content of phosphorus and potassium in the leaves. The level of calcium and magnesium in leaves increased with fertilization of 60 kg N ha–1 but decreased with the dose to 120 kg N ha–1. The use of nitrogen fertilization increased the vegetative growth of trees measured by leaf area and trunk cross-sectional area. However, the chlorophyll content was not dependent on the amount of nitrogen fertilization.
