Growing Olives In Western Australia, Richard Taylor, John Burt
Growing Olives In Western Australia, Richard Taylor, John Burt
Bulletins 4000 -
There are about 9 million hectares of olives in the world, with the largest areas in Spain, Italy, Greece and Tunisia. Olives are grown between the latitudes of 30° and 45° from the equator. In Australia, the main producing areas are between latitudes 31° and 38°S. Production in Western Australia ranges from Chapman Valley, Northampton (29.5°S), to Albany (34.5°S). Olive production has increased markedly in Australia in the past ten years with a large increase in managed investment scheme olive groves. The Moore River region of the Shire of Gingin accounts for over 70 per cent of olive trees and …

Fresh Market Tomato Cultivar Observation Trial For Northern Indiana, 2001, Elizabeth Maynard
Fresh Market Tomato Cultivar Observation Trial For Northern Indiana, 2001, Elizabeth Maynard
Purdue Fruit and Vegetable Research Reports
Fresh market tomatoes were grown in an unreplicated trial at the Pinney-Purdue Agricultural Center in Wanatah, Indiana. The trial included 11 red beefsteak types, one yellow stuffing type, and one smallfruited yellow type. Yield and average fruit number are reported.

Fresh Market Tomato Pruning Trial For Northern Indiana, 2001, Elizabeth Maynard
Purdue Fruit and Vegetable Research Reports
Pruning tomatoes is known to increase average fruit size and decrease total yield. Effects on marketable yield and early yield vary among cultivars and with the degree of pruning. This trial was conducted to evaluate a range of pruning treatments on two cultivars grown in the Midwest: Mountain Spring and Florida 91. Florida 91 has a larger vine and is later-maturing than Mountain Spring. The trial was conducted at the Pinney-Purdue Agricultural Center in Wanatah, Indiana.

Fresh Market Tomato Cultivar And Pruning Evaluation For Northern Indiana, 2000, Elizabeth Maynard
Purdue Fruit and Vegetable Research Reports
Fresh market tomatoes were evaluated at the Pinney-Purdue Agricultural Center in Wanatah, Indiana. Nine beefsteak types and one roma type were evaluated in a replicated trial. Plants were grown with and without pruning to evaluate pruning effects on yield and fruit quality. The main benefit of pruning is larger fruit size. For some cultivars, there might be an increase in total yield at the first harvest with pruning, as was seen to a small extent for Mt. Spring. Pruning also reduced the incidence of catfacing, especially for early cultivars. The main drawback of pruning is reduced yield. For pruning to …

Fresh Market Tomato Cultivar Evaluation For Northern Indiana, 1999, Elizabeth Maynard
Fresh Market Tomato Cultivar Evaluation For Northern Indiana, 1999, Elizabeth Maynard
Purdue Fruit and Vegetable Research Reports
Fresh market tomatoes were evaluated at the Pinney-Purdue Ag Center in Wanatah, Indiana. Fourteen cultivars were evaluated in a replicated trial, and 26 cultivars in an unreplicated observation trial. Half of the plants of each cultivar were pruned, and half were not, to evaluate pruning effects on yield and fruit quality. In the replicated trial, averaged over all cultivars,
pruning reduced yield of No. 1 fruit by 41%, increased fruit size by 19%, and increased percentage of cull fruit by one-third. The effect of pruning on early yield depended on the cultivar. Based on these results, pruning would be advised …

Pruning The Orchard, Ronald H. Walser, Wilford A. Wright, Alvin R. Hamson, Dan Drost, Tony Hatch
Pruning The Orchard, Ronald H. Walser, Wilford A. Wright, Alvin R. Hamson, Dan Drost, Tony Hatch
Plants, Soils, and Climate Faculty Publications
Pruning means removing certain parts of the tree in order to regulate the shape and bearing habits of the tree and quality of the fruit, but with a minimum of interference with natural growth habits. Not all kinds of fruit and nut trees are trained and pruned the same way, but most fit into one or more of the basic systems. To be able to prune intelligently, one must understand the basic principles. It is the aim of this bulletin to present basic principles and methods of pruning young and old fruit trees, vines, and bushes.

Apple Orchards To Take A New Look, J E L Cripps
Apple Orchards To Take A New Look, J E L Cripps
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Results of experiments by the Department of agriculture could completely change the appearance of the apple orchard in the next decade.
The normal orchard scene will become hedgerows of chemically-thinned, irrigated, red varieties on dwarfing or semi-dwarfing rootstocks receiving just the right amount of fertiliser, and areas between rows will be mown, or sprayed with herbicide. The clean cultivated, square-planted, vase-shaped tree will slowly disappear.
Effects Of Chilling, Chemicals And Pruning On The Rest Period Of Peach Trees, Ataollah Yazdaniha
Effects Of Chilling, Chemicals And Pruning On The Rest Period Of Peach Trees, Ataollah Yazdaniha
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Many deciduous trees enter a stage each year when their visible growth ceases. This is not always associated with cold weather or lack of water, and may occur with many species in mid-to-late summer. Trees entering this phase are said to be in rest. Rest is caused when internal factors are unfavorable for growth, while dormancy is defined as external factors being adverse for growth.
Rest in woody plants was first thought, about 1910, to be caused by cold temperatures. However, Coville (1920) states that deciduous trees enter rest regardless of cold temperature, with a certain period of effective chilling …

The Pruning Of Fruit Trees : Deciduous Fruit Trees (Apricots), H R. Powell
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
APRICOTS are grown in this State mainly for the fresh fruit market. Varieties commonly grown include Newcastle Early, Royal, Ouillins Early, Blenheim, Moorpark, Trevatt and Tilton.
In some orchards the trees are regularly pruned, but in others they are left unpruned. Unpruned trees are given some renovation pruning from time to time.
Continuation of an illustrated series on pruning fruit trees, by H. R. Powell, B.Sc. (Agric), Chief, Horticulture Division.

Pruning Citrus Trees. 2. Pruning The Mature Tree, D B. Argyle
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
EXAMINATION of a mature tree in full production will show the natural pattern of growth already explained.
It will be seen that over the years the frame has developed by a system of layers with new growth, stimulated by sunlight, constantly appearing on the top side of the older wood.
Eventually the terminal portions of the older layers are weakened by lack of light, they become unproductive and in turn adversely affect the general fruitfulness of the rest of the tree by shading and crowding.

The early prunings are very important for the reason that they determine the height of the trunk, and the number and spacing of the main and secondary arms and leaders. Mistakes made then are difficult to rectify later on.

The University Fruit Farm At Union, Nebraska, C. C. Wiggans
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
The University Fruit Farm may be considered as a substation or detached portion of the Nebraska Experiment Station. It was established to assist in answering questions pertaining to fruit production, and only experiments of this sort are carried on. Supervision of this property rests with the Department of Horticulture of the Nebraska College of Agriculture. This circular has been prepared with the view of furnishing visitors to the farm with a brief outline of the experimental projects. Further information is available from either the local foreman or from the Department. Visitors are always welcome and helpful suggestions are solicited.
