“…TSS, TA and vitamin C contents were in the range of 8.1-8.3 %, 0.42-0.51 %, and 127.3-131.6 mg/100 g, respectively for all treatments. The similar results indicating no significant difference in internal quality due to pruning treatment has been reported by Lakpathi, Rajkumar, & Chandrasekhar (2013) and da Silva, Tecchio, Domiciano, Leonel, & Balestrero (2016) in guava, Ghosh, Dey, Bhowmick, Medda, & Ghosh (2016) in lemon and Bennewitz, Fredes, Losak, Martinez, & Hlusek (2011) in sweet cherries.

“…Researches related to pruning to various plants have been reported by several researchers. Pruning application can significantly improve the fruit yield and quality of peach (Kumar, Rawat, Rawat, & Tomar, 2010), fruit yield of sweet cherries (Bennewitz, Fredes, Losak, Martinez, & Hlusek, 2011), fruit yield of lemon (Ghosh, Dey, Bhowmick, Medda, & Ghosh, 2016). Dhaliwal, Banke, Sharma, & Bali (2014) showed that pruning can accelerate and increase shoot numbers on 'Kinnow' mandarin.…”

Pruning is one of the techniques to improve plant growth and production. The aim of this research was to determine the effect of pruning on vegetative and generative growth, and fruit quality of 'Crystal' guava. The experiment was conducted from September 2016 to April 2017 at Cikabayan Research Station of Bogor Agricultural University, Dramaga, Bogor, Indonesia (-6.550780, 106.714531). The experiment used completely randomized design with six replications. There were three treatments i.e. a) pruning by leaving 4 pairs of leaves, b) pruning by leaving 8 pairs of leaves, and c) control (without pruning). Pruning was applied after shoot leaves grew fully. The result showed that pruning significantly increased the total number of shoots and generative shoots. Pruned plants produced more flower and fruit than un-pruned ones. Pruning by leaving 4 pairs of leaves tended to produce higher number of flower and fruit than those by leaving 8 pairs of leaves. Fruit weight and internal fruit quality were not affected by pruning. CONCLUSIONPruning had significant effect to the increase of total number of shoots and generative shoots. Pruned plants produced more flower and fruit than un-pruned ones. Pruning by leaving 4 pairs of leaves tended to have higher number of flower and fruit than by leaving 8 pairs of leaves. Fruit weight and its quality were not affected by pruning.

“…Similarly fruit size or diameter was also favorably affected by each of pruning treatment as compared to control. Among all the results for three years specifically medium pruning yielded best fruit size in third year 86.3 mm followed by 83.3 mm in the second year because pruning increase plant vigor and growth (Ghosh, 2015). Results of juice percentage yielded same pattern among all of the treatments under test; highest juice percentage was attained in medium pruning in third year 54.6% followed by 52.6 % in the second year for the same treatment, results supported by (Ahmad et al, 2006).…”

Pruning is a technique that is employed in orchards to control growth, remove dead or diseased wood, to stimulate formation of flower and fruit buds. It has in common the objectives of manipulating the vegetative or reproductive growth. some of the benefit traditionally attributed pruning had been called into question by field research in past few decades. A proper training and pruning program is essential for maintenance of a healthy and productive orchard. To quantify the pruning intensity and level on the quality and yield in Kinnow fruit crop was studied in the department of Citrus Research institute, Sargodha from 2013 to 2015 . The research trial was conducted according to the RCBD with five replications. Mature and fruit bearing trees of Kinnow mandarin were pruned as No-pruning (T1), light-pruning 10 % (T2) , medium-pruning 25% (T3) and heavy-pruning 35 % (T4). Fruit yield per tree in terms of number of fruits was highest in third year in all contestant treatments i.e. 979 in medium-pruning, 957 in light-pruning, 929 in no-pruning and 853 in heavy-pruning. Medium pruning in respect of quality parameters like average fruit weight and juice percentage excelled among all treatments with results 223g and 54.6% respectively. Conclusively Maximum yield and quality of Kinnow fruit crop was obtained in medium-pruning which appeared to be the best pruning methodology in Kinnow crop
