“…We found that maximum values of AGR under grey and blue nets were 20% greater than control ( Figure 1B), and similar to those observed by Stanley et al (2000) in 'Royal Gala' apples in New Zealand, between 2-2.5 g d -1 , who also demonstrated a positive relation between AGR increment and final fruit size. Apple fruit growth rate is affected by availability of photo-assimilates for adequate cell division (McArtney et al, 2004;Zibordi et al, 2009), while more prolonged cell division phase normally leads to higher values of AGR in apples (Stanley et al, 2000). In our study, leaf photosynthesis under blue net was 28% higher than white net (Table 4), probably by a direct effect of PPFD reduction by shading due to leading to less stressful microclimate conditions and thus leading to greater net CO2 assimilation (Smit, 2007) and therefore more carbohydrate availability for adequate fruit growth.…”

The effect of shading (i.e. reduction of sunlight availability) on fruit growth physiology has been widely studied in apple (Malus domestica Borkh.), but little knowledge exist about fruit growth responses to changes in the light spectrum. The aim of the present research was to study the effect of use of colored nets with differential sunlight transmission in the blue (B, 400-500 nm), red (R, 600-700 nm) and far-red (FR, 700-800 nm) spectra on apple fruit growth and physiological associated responses. Three year old 'Fuji' apple trees were covered with 40% photo-selective blue and red shade nets, 40% neutral grey shade net, and 20% neutral white net as control. Red and blue net reduced in the same proportion (27%) the photosynthetically active radiation with respect to control. However, blue net increased by 30% and reduced by 10% the B:R and R:FR the light relations, respectively. Maximal fruit growth rate under blue and grey nets was 15-20% greater than control. Fruit weight under blue net was 17% greater than control, but no significant differences in fruit weight were found among red net and control. Leaf photosynthesis and total leaf area under blue net were 28% and 30% higher than control, respectively; with ensuing positive effect on tree net C assimilation rate and total dry matter production. Results suggest that shifting the B, R, and FR light composition with photo-selective nets could be a useful tool to manipulate the photosynthetic and morphogenetic process regulating the carbohydrate availability for apple fruit growth.

“…With longer and warmer seasons, the prediction of fruit maturity of the currently latest maturing cultivars, Lobo and Aroma, would need to corrected for nonlinearity of the temperature response inland in southern Finland. The nonlinearity has been shown to be significant by Stanley et al (2000), though in conditions with much longer growing seasons of New Zealand.…”

The impact of climatic change in 1971-2040 on the potential production areas and risks to nine apple cultivars (Malus domestica Borkh.) was studied over continental Finland using agro-climatic indices and gridded daily mean (T m ) and minimum temperatures from the Rossby Centre regional atmospheric climate model (RCA3) with SRES A2. Point data on daily minimum temperatures from 14 weather stations and low and high warming scenarios were also used. From the 1970's to the present day, the areas of successful maturing of fruits have strongly expanded northwards. It is predicted that in 2011-2040, the warming of climate will allow expansion of commercial production in the south-eastern lake area, and a wider selection of cultivars for home gardens up to latitudes 65-66°N. Risk of extremely low temperatures (T m < -26 °C) has reduced from 1980's to the present but may not reduce much more in 2011-2040. Risk to shoots from fluctuating temperatures in winter and spring is likely to increase under the high warming scenario, more in the south-west than in the south-east. Risk to trees from cold days (T m < -15 °C) with a concurrent thin snow cover is not predicted to increase. In the western inland of the country, below latitude 63°N, and in the south-western coast areas the frost risk during flowering may increase, especially in the early flowering cultivars. In order to adapt to and gain from the climatic change, breeding and testing targets should be modified within five years and they should include reduced sensitivity to temperature fluctuation in winter, late flowering, and frost tolerance of flowers.

“…Asi, Stanley et al, (2000) encontraron correlaciones significativas entre el crecimiento del fruto de manzana y la temperatura del aire con el uso de Tb de 10 ºC para el cálculo de grados día; se ha considerado que un valor de Tb de 10 ºC es conveniente para mangos (MosquedaVázquez et al, 1993). Ryugo (1988) menciona que el valor de Tb para frutales de pepita (manzano y peral) es de 7ºC.…”
