This book was released on 2015 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Novel approaches to crop load management of pear orchards in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) are necessary, but will need to vary according to the unique vegetative and reproductive growth habits of the cultivar. 'D'Anjou' is vigorous and non-precocious; thus, strategies to limit vigor and induce early fruiting are required. In contrast, 'Bartlett' possesses a high fruit-setting efficiency and, consequently, is prone to over-setting fruit. Thus, crop reduction is necessary to achieve marketable fruit size, but hand thinning is time-consuming and costly. Two methods were investigated to resolve these issues: Root pruning of 'd'Anjou' pear trees and, chemical thinning of 'Bartlett' pears using abscisic acid (ABA). Root pruning was imposed on one or both sides of the tree row and compared to an untreated control plot at two sites: Moderate-density, 6th leaf 'd'Anjou'/OH x F 87; and, high-density, 4th leaf 'd'Anjou'/OH x F 87. Root pruning two-sides of the tree row consistently reduced shoot growth and the effects were partially dependent on tree age at the time of root pruning. Return bloom was positively affected by root pruning, but fruit weight was often reduced. Reduced fruit weight was not associated with mid-season water or nutrient deficits. Yield and yield efficiency the year following double-sided root pruning were improved with the greatest response occurring in the younger orchard (i.e., ~70% yield increase over control plots). Root pruning is a viable strategy to reduce vigor and improve precocity in high-density 'd'Anjou' plantings when performed in the 3rd or 4th year after planting. Thinning efficacy of abscisic acid (ABA) applied to 'Bartlett' pear trees, between petal fall and 12mm fruit size, was inconsistent. Among four trials, ABA produced a rate-responsive, transient reduction in stomatal conductance and net photosynthesis (Pn) of ~ 80% to 95% within hours of application, the effect lasted one to two days. By day three, Pn returned to ~80% of control plots and was fully recovered by 7-10 days after application. Thinning was best achieved at 100-125 ppm ABA. Higher rates caused greater fruitlet abscission but rates exceeding 400 ppm resulted in phytotoxicity and leaf abscission. In field trials, good thinning was observed in years when low natural light (i.e., cloudy conditions) occurred during the week immediately succeeding ABA applications. Only a few days of low light appeared necessary to elicit ABA-induced fruit abscission. To test the additive effect of shade on ABA-induced thinning, an experiment was designed to expose whole canopies to one of three levels of shade (0%, 44%, or 77%) and two levels of ABA (0 or 125 ppm). Shade houses were erected within hours of ABA application (~petal fall) and were left in place for 15 days. Both ABA and shade affected fruit abscission, but 44% shade did not significantly reduce fruit set compared to control plots. Photosynthetic active radiation (PAR) was reduced relative to the intensity of shade, but Pn was not. Moderate shade (i.e., 44%) led to only minor reductions of Pn, while 77% shade reduced Pn by 50% to 75% for the duration of the treatment period. ABA-induced thinning was not significantly improved by the addition of shade; however, two days of non-forecasted, cloudy conditions (i.e., low light) within the first week of the experiment invalidated comparisons to a true control (i.e., 0% shade). Given the short-term Pn limitation induced by ABA, in combination with the high carbon reserves of pear trees, ABA application may not be consistent enough to warrant commercial application.

Book Synopsis Pest Management Programs for Deciduous Tree Fruits and Nuts by : D. J. Boethal
Download or read book Pest Management Programs for Deciduous Tree Fruits and Nuts written by D. J. Boethal and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pest Management Programs for Deciduous Tree Fruits and Nuts attempts to present the current status of pest management programs in orchard ecosystems. The book is a collection of papers from a symposium convened on the subject for the 1977 National Meeting of the Entomological Society of America and invitational papers on commodities not covered during the symposium. In recent years, books have appeared on "integrated pest management (IPM)"; however, most of these have concentrated on field crop IPM with an occasional chapter on fruits. No publication presently exists which brings together information on the pest management programs currently being conducted on the major nut crops, almonds, pecans and walnuts. Because it is the first treatment for almonds and walnuts, the authors of these chapters have attempted not only to present the current IPM technology but the historical data which led to the contemporary programs. Two chapters appear on pecan IPM. The first concentrates on the development of a management program for the pecan weevil, the key arthropod pest of pecans, while the second discusses the implementation of pilot pecan IPM programs in two southeastern states. The latter chapter illustrates that even with a limited data bank, the pesticide load in pecan orchards can be reduced by the adoption of the IPM approach to pest control.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a revised and updated edition of the book Tree Fruit Production, first published in 1959 and extensively revised in the second edition in 1972. Considerable advances have been made in recent years in the scientific production and handling of deciduous tree fruits in North America. This third edition brings together in up-to-date usable text book form the essence of pertinent research and practical experience on the subject. Although the principles involved in the different operations of orchard management, such as pruning, soil management, fruit thin ning, and harvesting remain constant, practices and techniques have been undergoing considerable change. Economic and social changes have been brought to bear in altering the approach to such aspects of pomology as tree size, plant density, mechanical harvesting, pest control and irrigation. Greatly increased costs of production have swung the emphasis of attention toward the wider use of organic chemicals in the orchard. Growth regulating substances are finding a place in the orchard, not only for fruit thinning, preharvest drop control and weed suppression, but also for other purposes such as promotion of early flowering, tree train ing, pruning and the advancement and extension of the harvest season. The trend toward the smaller, more easily and economically managed apple tree which began slowly some three or more decades ago and increased rapidly in subsequent years is now complete.
