A provenance trial of Entada pursaetha containing five provenances from Eastern ghats were used for this study. Individual seed characteristics varied among provenances and highest was recorded in Talakona and lowest in Kolli hills. Cent percent emergence was recorded with high seedling vigour in the seeds of Talakona. Inter-correlation studies revealed a strong positive correlation between emergence and seed length, maximum seed width, and seed weight, while minimum seed width showed weak correlation. Araku valley and Kolli hills exhibited close proximity, while the genetic distance between Talakona and Rollapenta was the highest. There was no influence of environment on the seed characters.Maximum and minimum seed width exhibited higher values of heritability.

The bountiful natural terroir of Oregon has left many vineyards with excessive vegetative growth. High vigor can lead to a host of deleterious effects on grape and wine quality. Many grapegrowers annually employ intensive remedial canopy management techniques in response to high-vigor issues. The speakers in this session will address perennial vigor management strategies. From New Mexico State University, Dr. Gill Giese will share results from a long-term study of complete vineyard floor cover cropping and root pruning. From the University of Georgia, Dr. Cain Hickey will discuss results from research on the use of root restriction and rootstocks as a vigor management tool.

Canopy management and high density plantations systems in apple for higher profitability. Different systems are described to elucidate their potential and feasibility under different conditions. Comparative economic analysis of canopy management systems is given for their motivative adoption. Role of rootstock and varieties for obtaining higher and quality returns under different canopy management systems is described.
A short presentation detailing the efforts of Scenic Valley Farms to create a blackberry industry in the Upper Midwest by providing winter protection in high tunnels.
Camellia sinensis is the economically most important Camellia species. The genus Camellia belongs to the family Theaceae. This genus accommodates as many 82 species (Sealy, 1958) and over 200 species (Zhijian et al., 1988). The tea plant was originally included in the genus Thea by Linnaeus (1752) hence, Thea sinensis L., the original name of the tea plant has now become camellia sinensis (L) O. Kuntze. As the age of tea bushes from pruning advances, size and weight of harvestable shoots decline due to the reduction in the vascular supply to growing buds. An extreme case of growth retardation is evident in the higher proportion of banji shoots at the plucking table. Also, the upper and knots where many new stems have originated, despite the maintenance of foliage and losses efficiency, lower leaves drop off, leading to uneconomic harvesting (Wilson, 1999). Under continued plucking without pruning or skiffing, the plucking table becomes inconveniently high and growing apices gradually lose vigour. Pruning at this stage becomes necessary by which these irregularities could be remedied. It is an important practice in tea cultivation which involves removal of certain amount of growth of the bush.
From the view of the observed interaction between clones, seedling cultivars pruning height and tipping measures, it is evident that a required specific pruning height and tipping measure is necessary for maximum crop production. However, in South India below 30cm, 45cm, 55cm, 60cm, 65cm and above 65cm pruning heights can be advantageously adopted for the sinensis and assamica cultivars, respectively under four to five years pruning cycles. Analysing the yield at different heights of pruning, suggests that at 55cm it is hard pruning, at 60cm it is medium pruning and at 65cm it is light pruning. Integrated harvesting methods were followed by the trails. Light pruning trail yield is low and banji percentage is high, hard pruning trail yield as well as banji percentage is low, in medium pruning trail banji percentage is low and yield is high.

Canopy Development And Management In Relation To Growth, Flowering, Fruiting ...AmanDohre
Canopy Development And Management In Relation To Growth, Flowering, Fruiting And Fruit Quality In Guava, Grapes, Pomegranate, Ber, Apple, Pear And Peach.
Canopy development and management significantly influence growth, flowering, fruiting, and fruit quality in guava, grapes, pomegranate, ber, apple, pear, and peach. Proper canopy management practices such as pruning, thinning, and trellising promote optimal light penetration, air circulation, and nutrient distribution within the canopy. This enhances photosynthesis, leading to improved vegetative growth, increased flower formation, and enhanced fruit set. Well-managed canopies also facilitate better fruit development, coloration, and sugar accumulation, resulting in superior fruit quality. Tailored canopy management approaches specific to each fruit crop ensure optimal growth, productivity, and fruit characteristics, ultimately maximizing yield and market value.
