Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Root pruning at dormant or full bloom reduced trunk cross-sectional area increase and shoot length in apple trees.
- Intervention effect Root pruning at dormant or full bloom reduced average leaf size and fruit size in apple trees.
- Intervention effect Root pruning at dormant or full bloom increased yield efficiency in apple trees.
- Intervention effect Dormant root pruning increased the level of calcium in apple fruit flesh.
- Intervention effect Root pruning at June drop and preharvest increased preharvest fruit drop in apple trees.
- Intervention effect Root pruning at full bloom or later increased fruit soluble solids in apple trees.
- Intervention effect Considerable root regeneration near the cut was evident in November on apple trees root pruned at the dormant and full-bloom stages.
- Intervention effect Root regeneration was less on apple roots pruned at June drop.
- Intervention effect Root regeneration was minimal in apple trees treated with preharvest root pruning.
- Intervention effect Root pruning treatment did not influence leaf mineral nutrient levels of apple trees.
- Intervention effect Root pruning reduced vegetative growth and fruit size less in 3-year-old apple trees than in 4-year-old trees.
