Abstract
20 years old ‘Okitsu wase’ (Citrus unshiu Marc.) were treated of 1)pruning in autumn, 2)pruning in autumn + partial and all defruiting of secondary scaffold branches on June, 3)pruning in spring, 4)pruning in spring + partial and all defruiting of secondary scaffold branches on June and 5)control. Floral leaf ratio was very high in all treatments in 2000 as expected, but there were no significant difference among the treatments. In 2001, floral leaf ratio was very low in all treatments as expected off year, and there were no significant difference among the treatments. Yield changes rate for the year were 3.1, 9.3, 12.9, 21.0, and 25.2% in pruning in autumn + partial and all defruiting of secondary scaffold branches on June, pruning in spring + partial and all defruiting of secondary scaffold branches on June, pruning in autumn + no defruiting, control and pruning in spring + no defruiting, respectively, resulted very low tendency in order of this treatments. The results indicated that alternate bearing phenomenon could be reduced by pruning and defruiting method. There was a little higher tendency of soluble solid content in spring pruning or defruiting plot of secondary scaffold branches on June compared to other treatments and significant difference among treatments in 2000, but no significant difference among treatments in 2001. Acidity was a little lower in spring pruning+partial and all defruiting on June compared to other treatments in 2000, but there were no significant difference among treatments in 2001.
