Productivity of apple trees cv. Golden delicious under high density and canopy management conditions

Abstract

Apple tree (designated as “scion/rootstock combination”) development is closely linked to physiological processes and biochemical reactions. This action becomes disclosed by certain bioconstructive and phytometrical parameters conferral to the trees which more or less contribute to the realization of potential productivity of an apple orchard. The present paper contains materials of original research carried out during 3 years (2012- 2014). The experiences are aimed to find out the best mode of growth and cropping management of trees out of 34 variant/density combinations.
