“…Most suckering that come from newly formed bud primordia produced in healthy roots respond very well to cutting back to the ground level depending on the efficiency of manual, mechanical, chemical or thermal treatments (Dolci et al, 2005;Tomasone et al, 2009Tomasone et al, , 2010Serdar and Akyüz, 2018).…”

“…In manual methods, suckers are removed with hand tools such as pruning shears or hoes. Indeed, to gain better yield, the manual desuckering that is a practice followed by the hazel producer has not been found effective due to high labourpower and costs and low-work efficiencies (Tous et al, 1994;Beyhan and Pınar, 1996;Serdar and Akyüz, 2018). Although mechanical method can be less costly and time consuming than manual removal, care is required to avoid truck damage with machinery (Serdar and Akyüz, 2018).…”

Turkish hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) is naturally grown as a multi-stemmed shrub. This hazelnut produces lots of suckers. Suckers compete with the main branches for nutrients and water. Because the emergence of suckers negatively affects crop management in the hazelnut orchards are required to eliminate at least twice a year. Flaming is an alternative method to chemical and mechanical control methods. In this study, the effect of gas pressure, flaming time on fuel consumption and flaming efficiency in hazelnut sucker control were evaluated. The trials were carried out in an shrub ocak (in Turkish) type hazelnut orchard The results show that the torch flaming method is a useable method for hazelnut basal sucker cleaning. Gas pressure and flaming time had significant effects on fuel consumption and flaming efficiency. 150 s flaming duration and 3 bar pressure is sufficient for the flaming application. Durations above this time will increase fuel consumption and time loss.

“…Chemical control management technique saves labor costs and improves the value of the crop. Also, it is a popular method for farmers because it requires less time and labor than other sucker control methods (Serdar and Akyuz 2018). Nowadays interest is mainly directed towards synthetic growth regulators to control of suckers.…”

A field experiment was carried out during 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 seasons on Egyptian lime trees (Citrus aurantifolia) on orchard located at Al-kamal region, Governorate , Egypt . In this study, the effects of Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) at different concentrations (0.50, 0.75, 1 .00, 1.25 1.50 %) for suckers growth and improve fruit quality of lime trees. As a result of the study, spraying NAA highly decreased trunk sprouts. However, the highest concentration (1.50%) recorded the lowest values of number, weight, and length of Suckers during the two growing seasons compared with the control and removal treatments. In addition, it enhanced vegetative growth parameters as leaf area and chlorophyll content in the leaves in both seasons. Moreover, Spraying NAA at 1.00% achieved the highest values of fruit weight, length, diameter, yield/tree and fruit Acidity % in the two seasons, respectively. Furthermore, NAA at 1.25% increased fruit juice %, TSS % and Ascorbic acid content in fruit juice in the two seasons of study. Peel thickness was reduced as a result of NAA at 1.50%.

“…In grape, mechanical de-suckering is common practice with commercially available equipment but can damage young grape plants (Dolci et al 2004). Chemical control is the most broadly adopted method because of its low cost and time consumption compared to other methods (Serdar and Akyuz 2018). Herbicides are the standard practice for sucker control in commercial hazelnut production in Oregon (Olsen and Peachy 2013).…”

Hazelnut naturally grows as a multi-stemmed tree. The basal sprouts, known as suckers, grow throughout the season. Suckers are removed to promote a single trunk that facilitates production mechanization and increased yield. In Western Oregon, herbicides are the most common method of sucker control, and at least four applications per season are performed in the spring and summer seasons. This study evaluated the efficacy of foliar-applied herbicides currently registered for sucker control in hazelnuts. Season-long and short-term field studies were conducted to assess the efficacy of herbicides to control hazelnut suckers. In the season-long studies, four consecutive applications of treatments that contained 2,4-D, glufosinate, or paraquat provided 50 to 80% control, maintained sucker height at 50 cm or less as compared to 155 cm for the nontreated control; and reduced sucker biomass by 87% as compared to the nontreated control. The short-term study results confirmed the efficacy of 2,4-D, glufosinate, and paraquat for sucker control, and in this study, carfentrazone and saflufenacil reduced sucker biomass to a level comparable to 2,4-D or glufosinate treatment. These results confirm that 2,4-D, glufosinate, paraquat, carfentrazone, and saflufenacil can be used for sucker control in hazelnut and emphasize the necessity of multiple applications during the growing season to control suckers in hazelnut. Proper herbicide selection is important to control sucker with success.
