e1“Overall results revealed that all the pruning treatments were effective but the plants pruned from both sides performed better in terms of improved yield (greater number of fruits and higher total fruit yield per plant)”
e2“mandarin grown under high density plantation”
e4“increased fruit size, higher juice weight, lower peel weight, lower juice TA, greater TSS:TA ratio, and higher total phenolic content (TPC) and total antioxidants”
