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.
On 10 January, at the 82nd Cherry Institute in Yakima, Northwest Cherries administrators told growers that the 2024 season was a success in terms of shipments and promotions, a positive point after several difficult years.
As of 1 May, cherry production for the 2024 marketing year was estimated at 37,700 tonnes, an increase of 12% year-on-year and 23% year-on-year. The survey covers 3 regions, representing 81% of the national production in 2023.
A three-year study in Poland compares organic and conventional sour cherries, showing that cultivar, climate and season affect fruit quality more than orchard management alone. Oblačinska stands out as the most promising cultivar for high-quality organic production.
A Tasmanian study examines how clear and opaque rain covers change orchard microclimate, light, leaf physiology and cherry quality, combining replicated field trials and grower case studies to help producers improve fruit performance, harvest timing and storage potential.
