“…Also it was observed that all the pruning treatments result in early vegetative buds compared to no pruning. This may be due to removal of apical dominance, release of buds from correlative inhibition and efficient transfer system [17]. Among the treatments it was observed that maximum shoots per pruned shoot was recorded in case of light pruning (7.10) followed by moderate (5.86) and severe (4.81) as shown in Table 1.…”

ABSTRACT. Current study was undertaken to highlight the effect of pruning on improving vigor of old orchards and increasing performance in terms of fruit yield and quality under water and nutrient stressed condition of mid hills of Eastern Himalaya. Guava was taken for the case study and all the physical and chemical properties of the fruits and other attributes of plant were evaluated using standard methods under three pruning intensities (light, moderate and severe) and no pruning. The emergence of bud was earliest in severe pruning, number of buds per shoot was highest with light pruning and cumulative lengths of new shoots were found to be highest in severe pruning. Fruit yield, size and weight were found to increase with pruning intensities and lowest in case of no pruning. Regarding chemical properties, total soluble solids and total sugar found to increase with enhanced pruning severity and least in case of no pruning. Acidity was found to be highest with no pruning and decrease with increase in pruning intensities. Overall pruning found to have rejuvenating impact on aged trees due to better light interception leading to better photosynthetic rate, better nutrient and water supply with reduced canopy and better quality yields.

“…With the onset of the morphological differentiation in the month of July (6,31,66,67,86) carpel primordia in the apple appear in September to October. The further formation of flower parts occurs till the transition of plants into a state of winter dormancy (67).…”

“…Pruning increased cytokinin-, auxin-, and gibberellin-like activity by about 90, 60 and 190%, respectively (Mika, 1986). It is known, however, that tipping may cause an increase in the activity of hormones responsible for shoot growth, thus increasing their number and length (Mika, 1986). Traditional techniques to promote branching not always give satisfactory results, so application of bioregulators may be necessary (Csiszar & Buban, 2004).…”

This study was carried out in two independent experiments on one year old sweet cherry (Prunus avium L. cvs. "Siah Mashhad" and "Dovomras") nursery trees with the main purpose of improving lateral shoot formation and increasing the quality of trees. In the first experiment, heading treatments (0, 40, 60 and 80 cm above ground) and in the second experiment, Arbolin treatments (0, 5, 15, 25 mL·L -1 ) was investigated. Trees were treated with foliar sprays of Arbolin in 2 times at 7-days intervals in mid-June. At the end of the growing season, the tree quality was measured on the basis of their diameter and height of trees, number, length and angels of lateral shoots. A factorial experiment was laid out in a completely randomized block design with 3 replications where each plot contained 10 trees. Results showed that all of the treatments increased the number of laterals in comparison with the control. The cultivars had different response to the treatments. Heading in 60 cm was the best treatment for improving total number of lateral shoots. The result of second experiment showed that there were significant differences between cultivars and Arbolin treatments. The number of lateral shoots enhanced with application of higher concentrations and repeated Arbolin treatments in both cultivars. Arbolin treatments had more significant effect on the number and length of lateral shoots than heading treatments.
