Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect The 80% pruned trees stayed significantly smaller in canopy than unpruned control trees over three years.
- Intervention effect At the end of the study, CRF on 25% pruned trees gave a significantly higher leaf area index than CNV.
- Association Canopy volume and root density were positively and linearly correlated.
- Association Root density decreased with intensive pruning.
- Association Canopy volume was positively correlated with yield.
- Association Canopy volume was negatively correlated with fruit drop.
- Intervention effect No pruning or fertilization treatment significantly increased yield compared with unpruned controls.
- Intervention effect CRF reduced the amount of N applied and the frequency of application.
- Intervention effect Pruning did not improve productivity of HLB-affected trees over three years.
- Observation Pruned trees remained positive for CLas throughout the study.
- Observation Pruned trees produced new vegetative growth that looked healthy with no visual HLB symptoms initially.
- Recommendation Severe pruning is not a viable option to rejuvenate HLB-affected trees.
