Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect More severe pruning decreased tree height, spread and canopy volume.
- Observation Rainy season fruit yield was highest in unpruned trees at 6x5 m.
- Intervention effect Winter season yield per tree was maximum after removing one third vegetative growth at 6x5m.
- Intervention effect Half removal of vegetative growth at 6x4m maximized combined seasonal total fruit yield and yield per hectare.
- Intervention effect Half removal at 6x4m produced the best fruit quality by weight, palatability and soluble solids.
- Intervention effect Half removal at 6x4m gave best quality with high total sugars and vitamin C and low acidity.
