Title

Other claims from this paper (6)
- Association Crop density significantly affected all maturity and juice quality variables.
- Association Increasing crop density decreased total polyphenols and titratable acidity in juice.
- Association Increasing crop density decreased soluble solids and primary amino nitrogen in juice.
- Observation Lower nitrogen supplement costs from higher amino nitrogen alone did not justify thinning costs.
- Observation Reducing crop load was projected to raise long-term total polyphenol yield per tree.
- Intervention effect A target density of nine fruit/cm 2 reduced biennial bearing without reducing juice quality.
