“…Better light distribution within canopy, increases the number of well illuminated leaves. It also promotes the rate of photosynthesis that leads to high yield per unit area [19]. A better understanding of the effect of pruning is the need of an hour.…”

The present investigation entitled „„Effect of different levels of pruning on growth, yield and quality of guava. (Psidium guajava L.) Cv. Lalit” guava plant at the Horticulture Research Field, Department of Horticulture, SHUATS, Naini, Prayagraj agro-climatic condition during 2019-20. The data had been statistically analyzed by using Randomized Block Design. In this experiment, seven pruning treatments (control, 10 cm, 20 cm, 30 cm,40 cm, 50 cm and 60 cm) significantly influenced cropping pattern of guava viz. plant height (30, 60, 90, 120, 150 DAP), No. of flowers / tree, Fruit set (%), Days to first fruit harvest, Number of fruit per tree, Fruit weight (gm.), Fruit diameter (cm), Yield (Kg/Plant), Yield (t/ha.), TSS (%), Acidity (%). The maximum fruit yield was recorded in T4 (30 cm pruning) (13.33 kg) per plant and the minimum yield was recorded in T1 (Control) (8.19 kg) per plant.

“…La época de desarrollo del flujo es importante pues tanto desarrollo vegetativo como reproductivo ocurren solo en flujos maduros. La época de desarrollo como la sincronización de los mismos se puede lograr con poda en la época adecuada, lo cual intensifica la floración (Yeshitela et al, 2005;Vázquez et al, 2009a).…”

“…The flow development time is important because both vegetative and reproductive growth occur only in mature flows. The era of development as the timing thereof can be achieved with pruning at the right time, which enhances the flowering (Yeshitela et al, 2005;Vázquez et al, 2009a).…”

La producción irregular en mango se atribuye a variación en la floración. Prohexadiona de calcio (P-Ca) reduce crecimiento vegetativo y favorece floración en frutales templados como manzano y subtropicales como aguacate. En mango ‘Ataulfo’, no hay información al respecto. El objetivo fue determinar dosis, época y número de aplicación de P-Ca en mango ‘Ataulfo’ con la finalidad de asegurar f loración y encontrar un sustituto para paclobutrazol (PBZ). El estudio se realizó de 2012 a 2014 en Tepic y San Blas Nayarit, en ambos años, los árboles fueron podados después de cosecha. Experimento 1 y 2: P-Ca (150, 250 y 500 mg L-1) a 0+10+20+30 días después de la poda (ddp) y 30+45+60 ddp, respectivamente. Experimento 3: P-Ca (500 mg L-1) una, dos o tres aplicaciones a 0, 0+10 y 0+10+20 ddp y Experimento 4: P-Ca (150 y 500 mg L-1) a 30+45+60 ddp y 1 500 mg L-1 en una sola aplicación (1 x) 30 ddp. En todos los experimentos se incluyó un tratamiento estándar de PBZ (2 500 mg L-1) 30 ddp y un testigo (agua más surfactante). El diseño fue completamente al azar, 6 repeticiones, un árbol como unidad experimental. En Experimento 2, se logró reducir un 35% el crecimiento vegetativo con P-Ca 500 mg L-1 (3 x) entre 30-60 ddp. Esta misma dosis de P-Ca (500 mg L-1) (3 x) a 30, 45 y 60 ddp, o una sola aplicación (1 500 mg L-1) 30 ddp logró igual el efecto de PBZ en adelanto (20-35 días) y porcentaje de floración. En los dos ciclos, ambos productos mejoraron amarre y producción de fruto. Con base a los resultados obtenidos se considera que P-Ca pudiera ser un sustituto para PBZ en mango ‘Ataulfo’ para asegurar floración y producciones regulares año con año.

“…Productivity often declines at this stage, normally about ten years after establishment. The development of high-density plantings in mango will require effective strategies to control the growth of the trees (Oosthuyse, 1995;Yeshitela et al, 2005).…”

a b s t r a c tMango (Mangifera indica) trees are traditionally established at about 100-200 trees per ha and eventually grow into large specimens 10 m tall or more, making spraying and harvesting difficult. It also takes a long time to recover the initial costs of establishing and maintaining the orchard. There has been considerable interest in planting orchards up to 4000 trees per ha to take advantage of early production and to increase economic returns. However, trees planted at high density soon begin to crowd and shade each other and production falls. We reviewed the performance of high-density orchards in different growing areas, and the role of dwarfing cultivars and rootstocks, tree canopy management and the growth regulator, paclobutrazol to control tree growth. There has been no general agreement on the optimum planting density for commercial orchards which vary from 200-4000 trees per ha in different experiments. Some potential dwarfing material has been developed in India and elsewhere, but these cultivars and rootstocks have not been widely integrated into high-density orchards. Canopy management needs to take into account the effect of pruning on the regrowth of the shoots and branches, light distribution through the canopy and the loss of the leaves that support the developing crop. Pruning must also take into account the effect of vegetative growth on flower initiation. Annual light pruning usually provides better fruit production than more severe pruning conducted less regularly. There have only been a few cases where it has been demonstrated that paclobutrazol can counteract the negative effect of pruning on flowering and fruit production. There are also concerns with residues of this chemical in export markets and contamination of ground waters. The future development of high-density plantings in this crop is dependent on the use of dwarfing cultivars and/or rootstocks and better canopy management strategies. Dwarfing cultivars and rootstocks should provide small-to medium-sized trees with medium to large yields. This can readily be identified in experiments by examining the relationship between yield and tree growth. Research on canopy management should assess the impact of pruning on flowering, light distribution within the canopy and the leaf area supporting the developing crop. The productivity of mango is not likely to be increased by the use of high-density plantings without extensive efforts in plant breeding and canopy management.Crown
