- Intervention effect Increasing tree spacing reduced growth parameters of fig trees under different pruning levels.
- Intervention effect Increasing tree spacing reduced fruit yield of fig trees.
- Intervention effect Increasing pruning from 8 to 4 buds per cane increased leaf number, shoot length and internode length.
- Intervention effect Pruning marginally influenced fruit number and fruit weight per tree and per hectare.
- Observation The interaction effects of pruning and spacing were not significant.
- Intervention effect Increasing spacing consistently declined photosynthesis rate and stomatal conductance.
- Observation Fruit quality attributes TSS and acidity were not affected by the treatments.
- Intervention effect Closer spacing reduced average fruit size compared with wide spacing.
- Observation Effects of closer spacing on growth and yield parameters were more pronounced in the 3rd year than in the 4th year.
- Recommendation A spacing of 5x2m or 5x2.5m with 4 buds/cane pruning gave the best maintenance of vigour and fruit yield.
- Observation Fruit number per hectare reached 116500-133750 and 274500-299500 under closer spacing of 5x2m with 4 buds/cane pruning.
- Observation Fruit weight per hectare reached 54.5-62.0 and 158.77- 173.30 quintals/ha under closer spacing of 5x2m with 4 buds/cane pruning.
