“…Recent trials found that the initial loss of production due to the large quantity of productive branches removed by the rotating blade in the first year of application was easily recovered in the following years 85, 86 . Furthermore, starting from the second year of investigation, there was an increased vegetative response, with strong development of the shoots in the inner and apical part of the crown.…”

European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) is a major species of interest for nutritional use within the Betulaceae family and its nuts are widely used throughout the world in the chocolate, confectionery, and bakery industries. Recently its cultivation has been expanded in traditional producer countries and established in new places in the southern hemisphere, including Chile, South Africa, and Australia. Introducing hazelnut in new environments could reduce its productivity, lead the trees to experience eco‐physiological disorders, and expose the crop to high pressure from common and new pests and diseases. Thus, new approaches in cultivar choice guidance, in the sustainable orchard management and even in nut storage and kernel quality evaluation are urgently required to improve the hazelnut production and processing chain. The main objective of this study was to systematize the published information regarding recent findings about the cultural operations that directly influence nut and kernel quality, support varietal choice for new plantations, and list the recent advances in nut storage and in quality and safety evaluation. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry

“…Nonetheless, manual thinning could be completely replaced by a heavy mechanical hedging made every three years by cutting off the lateral canopy at 15-20 cm from the central axis on alternating sides, even if this kind of pruning is still in the experimental phase (Rius and Lacarte, 2010). The canopy restraining mechanization by topping, hedging and trimming is done with machines that arose from the disk pruners employed for a time in traditional and intensive grape, citrus and other orchards (Gatti et al, 2011;Intrigliolo and Roccuzzo, 2011;Kurtural et al, 2013;Malvicini et al, 2014).…”
