Studies on leaf to fruit ratio on growth, yield and quality of custard apple

“…Whereas the minimum (9) D grade fruits were recorded in treatment T 7 (LFR-50:1). The results are in agreement with the findings of Chanana and Beri (2004) [2] , who also observed that girdling plus thinning done 2 weeks after full bloom resulted in higher fruit weight in peach.…”

Effect of Shoot Bending, Shoot Girdling and GA3 Application Treatments on Growth, Fruit Set %, Yield and Fruit Quality of "Le Conte" Pear

“…respectively, as compared with the control. These findings agreed with those obtained by Baljit Kumar and Harminder Singh (2008), Taylor (2004), Onguso et al (2004), Chanana and Shefali Beri (2004) and Gao MeiXiou (1997) on peach trees who found that fruit total soluble solids in all used girdled treatments were higher than on the nongirdled treatments. In addition, Arakawa et al (1998) on apple trees they found that, ringing increased fruit soluble solids content.…”

“…respectively, as compared with control. These results are in harmony with those obtained by Chanana and Shefali Beri (2004), Taylor (2004), Wang XueJiang and Han Wei (2007) and Allan et al (1995) on peach trees who indicated that, girdling improved fruit size. In addition, Mebelo Mataa et al (1998) on Citrus observed that, July and September girdling improved fruit size.…”
