Abstract
In Weibei Plateau,the apple trees at final full productive stage were pruned by renewal pruning and long branch pruning(control) in winter pruning season,and the leaf area index(LAI),canopy openness(DIFN),average foliar obliquity(MTA),extinction coefficient(K) of trees were measured by LAI-2000 Canopy Analyzer at growth stage(in July),fruit yields and related indicators of fruit quality were measured at harvest stage(in October).The results showed that renewal pruning significantly increased leaf area index and average foliar obliquity,slightly increased extinction coefficient,and significantly reduced canopy openness.Renewal pruning significantly increased fruit yields,fruit mass,fruit shape index,organic acid mass fraction,economic value,and had no significant effects on coloring area,soluble solids,soluble sugar,fruit firmness,and vitamin C.Renewal pruning should be an appropriate pruning method for apple trees at final full productive age in Weibei Plateau.
