Physiology

Modern fruit growing aims for consistent yields of high-quality fruit using efficient production methods that respect the environment. Appropriate training systems and carefully balanced pruning methods allow for optimal exposure to sunlight. Consistent harvests can be obtained by accurate regulation of vegetative growth and crop load.

• Testing of new tree forms and training systems for better exposure to sunlight
• Research into pruning methods that maximize fruit quality and reduce vegetative growth
• Testing of methods of flower and fruit thinning that guarantee consistent yields and high fruit quality.
