This book was released on 1995 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High-density supported apple orchards require a high investment and detailed management practices, with high risks of failure if proper procedures are not followed. However, the rewards are also high in terms of yield and quantity of apples. This report summarizes the main process required to establish a high-density supported apple orchard in Ontario. Chapters of the report cover site selection, soil drainage and type, soil nutrient levels and pH, nematodes, irrigation, frost protection, nursery tree quality and sources, planting, rootstocks, cultivar selection, pollination, supported-tree training systems, orchard establishment, pest control, and sod covers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HIGH-DENSITY APPLE ORCHARDS MANAGEMENTThe use of smaller than standard sized trees of uniform shape in high-density plantings of from 200 to 500 or more trees per acre may be a solution to the problem of developing more efficient orchard operations. Trees in these plantings will require some type of size control, which can be accomplished in many ways a high density orchard is defined as any orchard with more than 150- 180 trees per acre. However, many highly productive commercial orchards today have 150-180 trees per acre and higher density could be anything over 180 trees per acre. For the purposes of this publication, there are several characteristics in addition to tree number that are included in a high density orchard system. Besides having an increased number of trees per acre, a high density orchard must come into bearing within 2-3 years after planting. To achieve this early production, it is essential to use a precocious dwarfing rootstock. Although it is possible to restrict the growth of trees on semi-dwarf rootstocks, they do not have the genetic capacity for early bearing. Consistent early fruit production is essential to offset the increased establishment costs. It is also very costly to hold trees on more vigorous rootstocks in an allotted space required for a high density orchard. To maximize the production of a high density orchard, it is also necessary to modify the training system and training and pruning techniques from traditional methods. Since trees will be bearing fruit early, a permanent tree support system is also required. It is essential to crop trees very early in the life of the orchard to offset the costs of establishment and to aid in managing vegetative growth. Early production is directly related to the number of trees planted per acre.

Download or read book Apples written by Rafiya Mushtaq and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-12-30 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to polymorphism, apples have extraordinary diversity. Depending on variety, apple fruits can differ in color, shade or size; apples even can be oval or pear-shaped. There are more than 10,000 varieties of apple, which vary in taste, shape, juiciness, texture, color, firmness and other qualities. For these reasons, apples have been diversely studied, and many improvements have been made such as the introduction of high density cropping; rootstock breeding; or varietal development. Therefore it is important to understand and document the production methods adopted and implemented in recent times for harvesting maximum benefits of the crop. Apples: Preharvest and Postharvest Technology documents production practices along with detailed illustration on varieties, rootstocks, important cultural practices and post-harvest management. This book will serve as a complete guide for apple production from farm to fork and will help students, scholars, researchers and scientists working in this domain. The book will also help growers all over the world to understand best practices for apple production, to harvest maximum yields, and in turn, to increase their returns.

Download or read book Establishing a Cider Apple Orchard for Mechanized Management written by Travis Robert Alexander and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Washington State has been dealing with labor shortages across the agricultural sector for many years. Long-term strategies have included shifting to less labor-intensive crops and increasing investment in mechanization. For cider apple production, mechanization of pruning, thinning, and harvest requires an orchard training system that is suitable for medium-to-high- density plantings that are characterized by a planar canopy that is about two feet in width and includes long continuous rows that all allow for safe and cost-effective use of equipment. A major obstacle to mechanization has been the high upfront capital required for establishing a compatible orchard infrastructure including the purchase or leasing of equipment. Researchers at Washington State University Northwestern Washington Research and Extension Center (WSU NWREC) in Mount Vernon have been assessing the impact of mechanization on cider orchard profitability since 2011, evaluating fruit and cider quality as well as yield, and developing enterprise budgets. From 2014 to 2016, WSU NWREC researchers established a replicated research orchard of 65 cider apple cultivars on G935 rootstock to allow for the testing of mechanized hedgers, thinners, and harvesters, ultimately, to provide growers with this orchard management guide. This manual outlines a specific management plan for a cider apple orchard that is designed for mechanized pruning, thinning, and harvesting. This manual also provides a first-hand account of WSU NWREC researchers implementing this management plan through the establishment of a cider apple orchard under maritime climate conditions. The experiences at WSU NWREC may be especially applicable for small-scale growers, as a lower-cost, hand-held hedger was used for mechanical pruning rather than a tractor-mounted hedger.
