ANA Chile® offers you valuable videos featuring the pruning guidelines of consultant Walter Masman.
Guidelines for the production pruning of Sweet Aryana® PA1UNIBO, with the clear goal of aligning the output of production centers with the recommended maximum yields for the age of these plants, aiming for quality fruit.
Training guidelines for Nimba pruning, with the goal of adjusting the output of production centers to the recommended maximum yields for the age of these plants.
Based on several years of Nimba evaluations, which show that there can be a significant loss in fruit quality due to softening associated with excess load, and considering its early production onset, for orchards planted in 2021 it is advisable to adjust the loads to a maximum production of 3,000-4,000 kg/ha, and for orchards planted in 2022, to a maximum of 1,000-1,500 kg/ha.
Although the power supply of the containers was maintained and the cold chain was not interrupted, according to Antonio Walker, president of SNA, who inspected the containers on board, the fruit arrived in very poor condition.
Prunus cerasus is generally considered a marginal species, especially in comparison with Prunus avium. However, in recent decades, this crop has become more important due to numerous studies on its positive effects on human health.
In the Andean-Patagonian temperate forest, alien species recruitment depends on predation, frugivory, seedling survival and functional traits. Seed size emerges as the key factor, with Prunus cerasus showing the highest invasive potential among the species studied in Patagonia.
Washington State University is tracing breeder Thomas Toyama’s genetic legacy to develop larger, earlier and more resilient cherries. Historic WSU records are now helping researchers identify valuable traits and strengthen modern sweet cherry breeding programs worldwide.
