Fruits are a rich source of protein (0.69 g) vitamins (vit. A 0.06 mg; vit. B -0.03mg) and minerals like calcium (8 mg), phosphorus (15 mg) and iron (0.5 mg) per 100 grams of pulp. Patharnakh has become the commercial fruit crop of Punjab.
The area under pear is steadily increasing in North India. In Punjab, pear occupies an area of 2147 hectares with an annual production of 42940 tonnes. With the introduction of new promising semi-soft pear cultivars, the area under pear is likely to increase further.
The area under patharnakh increased in past thirty years due to the supply of quality nursery plants propagated on pear root suckers and Kainth seedlings. Now the quality plants of soft pears are being made available to the growers by Punjab Agricultural University nurseries.
Origin and History:
Pyrus species are native to the Northern Hemisphere of the old world. European and West Asian species are native to Eastern Europe and South Western Asia. East and North Asian species (oriental group) are native to Eastern Asia including China, Japan and ManAuria. Patharnakh (Pyrus pyrifolia) (Burm. F. Nakai) originated in China from where Chinese merchants and settlers brought it to Amritsar’s village Harsa Chhina during the time of Lord Kanishka (120-170 AD). From here patharnakh spread to other areas. In Himachal Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh, Patharnakh is cultivated under the name of Gola pear.Climate and Soil:
Low chilling requiring pears are being cultivated in plains of North India. Cultivars requiring high chilling hours (900-1000) are cultivated at higher hills of Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttara Khand.
Soil:
Pear is not very fastidious to its soil requirements. It is being grown from arid irrigated areas of Sirsa-Abohar to loam and clay loam soils of Amritsar and Hoshiarpur. It is doing well in foot hills where soils are light sandy to gravels. It prefers deep well drained loam soils with pH less than 8.5. Alkaline soils are unfit for pear cultivation. The soils with electric conductivity less than 1.5 mm hos/cm, less than 10 percent CaC03 and lime 20 percent are suitable for pear cultivation. High pH soils show iron chlorosis and zinc deficiencies in the pear plants.Rootstock:
Many rootstocks are being used to propagate pear trees. Promising characters of rootstock are given below:
Pear Root Suckers (Pyrus calleryana):
This is a very old rootstock which is in use since the introduction of pear cultivar patharnakh by the Chinese. Initially in rootstock trials at P.A.U. Ludhiana it has been considered to be Pyrus pyrifolia. A sucker was planted in the old orchard of the P.A.U. in 1976.
It grew as a tree quite different from P pyrifolia and did not flower for twenty years, but remained vegetative. Its roots continued to give out rootsuckers, whereas no rootsuckers developed on Pyrus pyrifolia roots. Hence it has been identified as root suckers of oriental pear Pyrus calleryana. Old pear orchards produce root-suckers.

Wilt is a pernicious disease of guava in India.
In India the disease was first recorded near Allahabad in 1935 . The infection was reported 15 -30 %.
The disease is a serious threat to guava cultivation in U.P. In West Bengal it reduces the yield in affected orchard by 80% .
The disease is also prevalent in Haryana Rajasthan , A.P ,
Punjab and M.P.The exact cause of the disease is still not fully understood but the pathogens viz. Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. psidii (Prasad, Mehta & Lal), Rhizoctonia spp. (Taub.) and various pathogens are reported by different workers may be the incitant of the disease.
Survival and spread:
Through movement of plants containing sick soil in virgin areas.
Short distance spread is by water.
Root injury predisposes wilt disease.
It has forced uprooting of about 150 acre of guava orchard in Panjab and 300 acres in Haryana during 1971-81.

Rootstock scion and Interstock Relationship Selection of Elite Mother Plants
Rootstock-scion relationship refers to the compatibility and interaction between the rootstock (the lower portion of the grafted plant, typically consisting of roots and a stem) and the scion (the upper portion of the grafted plant, which determines fruit characteristics and growth habits). Selecting elite mother plants involves evaluating how well a particular scion variety performs when grafted onto different rootstocks. Factors such as graft compatibility, vigor, disease resistance, and fruit quality are considered to ensure optimal performance in the field.

Name of Topic: Problem of unfruitfulness
DISCOVER . LEARN .
EMPOWER
2. Problem of Unfruitfulness
• In an orchard all the fruit trees do not bear equally or regularly
and sometimes fail to flower and fruit under similar conditions
where another fruit tree bears heavily.
• This failure to set fruits may be attributed to unfruitfulness.
• To understand the problem of unfruitfulness in orchards a
familiarity with following terms is necessary.
Fruit setting
It refers to initial growth of ovary and its associated parts after
blossoming and taking it to maturity.
Fruitfulness
• It is the state of plant when it is not only capable of flowering
and fruit setting but also takes these fruits to maturity and
inability to do so is unfruitfulness or barrenness.
3. Infertility: Ability of a plant not only to produce fruits but develop
viable seeds and the inability to do so is referred as sterility or infertility.
All fertile plants are fruitful but all fruitful plants are not fertile
(Seedless fruits).
Self fruitfulness: Ability of a plant to mature fruits after self pollination
Self fertility: Capacity of a plant for the production of viable seeds after
self pollination.
4. Causes of fruitfulness
• Ability of a plant to produce optimum crop is fruitfulness and
the inability to achieve this is referred to as unfruitfulness.
• Causes
• Internal factors
• External factors
5. Internal factors
• They have further been categorized into three major
categories, those are
1.Evolutionary tendencies
2.Genetic influence
3. Physiological factors
6. Monoecious and Dioecious nature
• A plant with stamens and carpels in different flowers on the
same plant is monoecious. E.g. Coconut, Arecanut, Pecan nut,
Capri fig and Hazel.
• In monoecious fruit plants in general there is no or very little
problem of pollination, fruit setting and fruitfulness.
• Plants which bear male and female flowers on different plants
are known as dioecious. E.g. Papaya, Date palm and
Strawberry. Likewise a few varieties of plum produce too little
pollen to call them bisexual.
• To ensure good fruit set, retention of a few staminate trees
(9:1) is essential as pollinizers.
7. Heterostyly
• A condition in the flower where length of the style, relative to
other parts of the flower, differs in the flowers of different plants.
In this case in some flowers styles are short with long filaments
and in some of the flowers of some species or varieties styles are
long with short filaments.
• Thus styles and stigmas at different height prevent self pollination.
8. Dichogamy
• When stigmatic receptivity period does not coincides with
pollen viability in monoecious plants it is known as
dichogamy.
• In dichogamy self pollination is prevented in perfect flowered
plants, due to maturity of two sex elements at different times.
• If the stamens ripe before the stigmas become receptive the
flowers are known as protoandrous and if stigmas become
receptive before the stamens produce viable pollens it is
known as protogynous.
• This results in low production of fruits. Protogyny is present in
monoecious plants like walnuts, hazels, etc. whereas protandry
is present in many coconut varieties.
• Majority of dioecious plants are also protogynous.
9. Impotence of pollen
• Many varieties of grapes produce non viable or impotent
pollens though they appear as perfect flowers.
• Sterility in grape varieties was the result of impotent pollens.
10. Genetic influences
• Sterility and Unfruitfulness Due to Hybridity
• Generally wider the crossing, greater is the degree of sterility
encountered.
• The cross between peach and plum bears abundance of flowers
but they are without pistils with malformed stamens.
• A hybrid between the pear and the quince was seedless.
• Seedlessness in most of the banana and pineapple varieties is
due to hybrid nature of their ancestors.
11. Incompatibility
One of the most common causes of self unfruitfulness and self sterility
is due to incompatibility between the pollen and ovules of the same
plant or of the same variety.
In apple, pear, plum and aonla self incompatible varieties require
another pollinizer varieties for fruit setting.
Self incompatibility has been reported in some of the mango varieties
like ‘Langra’, ‘Dashehari’ and ‘Chausa’.
12. Physiological influences
Slow pollen tube growth
• Slow growth of the pollen tube results in unfruitfulness.
• Differences have been found in the rate of growth in selfed and
crossed apples, pears, cherries and certain citrus fruits.
• Besides this, fertilization should take place within a short time
failing which abscission will take place at the base of the style,
ovary pedicel or peduncle and fruit setting does not take place.
13. Premature or delayed pollination
Premature or delayed pollination leads to unfruitfulness.
When mature pollen grains are applied to immature pistils they
germinate, penetrate the style, enter the ovule and if the ovules are not
ready for fertilization the flowers fall.
Lower setting due to premature pollination was noticed in
persimmon, Pear, plum and peach.
Similarly, if pollination is delayed the flowers fall without setting.
Delay in pollination for 1 or 2 days did not affect fruit set. However,
further delaying may result into polyembryonic seeds in some species.
14. Nutritive condition of plant
Nutritive condition of plant just before or at or and just after the time
of blossoming is an important factor determining the percentage of
flowers carrying for setting and for maturity. It may affect the pollen
viability or fertility of pistils.
Fruit setting of flowers at different positions
Nutritive condition of plant
Nutritive condition of plant just before or at or and just after the time
of blossoming is an important factor determining the percentage of
flowers carrying for setting and for maturity. It may affect the pollen
viability or fertility of pistils.
Fruit setting of flowers at different positions
Fruits borne on terminal growth have more competition in many fruit
crops and mature and set under normal nutritional conditions but
percentage of set is small.
This positional competition takes place between fruits and branch as
well as between different fruits influencing fruitfulness.
15. External factors
• Nutrient supply: In certain families like graminae, cruciferae
and leguminaceae sterility normally occur due to over feeding.
‘Jonathan’ apple self sterile in rich soil becomes self fertile in
poor soils. High fertility level is generally associated with
good pistil development and low level with poor pistils and
good stamens in grapes.
• Pruning and Training: Pruning tends to produce more true
hermophrodite condition in grape variety ‘Hope’. If pruning is
not done the variety tends to remain sterile and produces
aborted pistils.
• Locality: Jonathan apple which is sterile in one location is
reported to be self fertile in another location.
• Season: Hybrid grape ‘Ideal’ is self impotent early in season
but becomes self potent later on.
16. Temperature: High temperature at flowering dries up stigmatic
secretion and prevents pollination. Tomato varieties grown at high
temperature do not produce any fruit.
Light: Exposure of strawberry plants to long photoperiod results
in development of stamens and pistils in strawberry flowers.
Pests and diseases: Mango hopper, powdery mildew, etc. adversely
affect the fruit set and development in mango and grape. Spraying the
trees when they are in bloom i.e. spraying at flowering reduces fruit
set. Some of the fungicides gave inhibitory effect on pollen grains i.e.
copper fungicides at 200 to 10000 ppm prevent the germination of
pollen grains on the stigma.
17. Steps to overcome the problem
of unfruitfulness
Having known that there could be many reasons for unfruitfulness,
it is necessary to make necessary corrective measures which should
begin from planning level and extend to an established orchard.
Choice of the crop and variety should be made on the basis of
climatic and edaphic conditions of the site of orcharding.
Provision of windbreak and shelter belts for areas prone to wind
damage.
Before planting an orchard soil should be brought to optimity by
incroporating organic matter, amendments and nutrients based on
soil analysis.
18. In case of problems of pollination due to heterostyly, dichogamy
incompatibility, sterility, embryo abortion, hybridity, etc. a mixture of
varieties should be grown by introduction effective pollinizer
varieties and pollinators (Honey bees).
Unfruitfulness due to slow growth of pollen tube, premature and
delayed pollination, use of plant regulators can be affected after
standardization in terms of chemical concentration and timing of
application.
The problem due to old age could be overcome by replanting or
rejuvenation of old trees.
Problem due to overbearing can be managed through thinning at
appropriate stage.
19. Problem due to uneven distribution of flowers on tree should be
managed through thinning and crop regulation.
Irrigation management would be key role in situations with drought
and waterlogged conditions.
Maintenance of critical nutrient status in tree leaves for optimum
crop production by adopting correct nutritional programme based on
plant and soil analysis.
In crops requiring regular pruning standard practices will have to be
adopted based on crop, variety and its phenology.
20. Problem of unfruitfulness due to tendency of alternate bearing
should be over come through replacement of regular bearing
varieties and crop regulation.
Unfruitfulness due to pathogens should be managed through
effective plant protection measures following integrated approach.
