Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Light and moderate summer pruning had slight effects on apple fruit size and fresh weight within commercial cropping ranges.
- Intervention effect Summer pruning did not affect apple fruit colour, soluble solids, or starch.
- Intervention effect Summer pruning alone did not affect apple return bloom.
- Intervention effect Summer pruning alone did not affect apple root growth.
- Method / resource Physiological crop load relationships predicted potential negative summer-pruning effects on apple fruit growth, return bloom, and fine-root survival.
- Method / resource The carbohydrate supply and demand balance model was judged feasible for explaining summer-pruning influences in apple.
- Mechanism The impact of carbohydrate shortage after summer pruning is likely mediated by reduced canopy transpiration in apple.
- Mechanism Annual weather pattern likely modifies the interaction of canopy carbon balance and water status after apple summer pruning.
