Abstract
The effects of girdling and acupuncture on growth and development of plum trees were studied. It indicated that trund girdling at full bloom or 15 days after full bloom could effectively inhibit new shoot extension, increase fruit-bearing ratio; dry matter weight and fruit growth. Better results were obtained by trunk girdling at full bloom than that at 15 days after full bloom. Calcium and irom contents in the leaves were remarkably decreased, but there was no significant difference in zinc content after girdling. The plum vegetative growth was noticeably lowered by acupuncture.
