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.
“Together with this launch we are presenting the mascots created by the Chilean Cherry Committee to bring consumers closer to this Chilean fruit. These three mascots represent the main varieties of Chilean cherries: Santina, Regina, and Lapins", said Charif Christian Carvajal.
Prolonged rains in Moldova are worsening the sweet cherry season: after spring frost hit Kordia, Regina and Ferrovia, fruit quality, yields and 2026 exports also face fresh pressure, while small growers deal with fruit cracking, lower marketability and weaker local prices.
U.S. tart cherry production is forecast at 91 million pounds in 2026, down 36% year on year. Spring freezes hit Michigan and Utah, cutting the crop and increasing pressure on inventories, processors, product availability and grower prices across the domestic market now.
A study on sweet cherry dormancy combines plant physiology, metabolomics and NDVI/FAPAR vegetation indices from Sentinel and Landsat imagery, highlighting scalable tools to monitor canopy senescence, physiological activity and orchard phenology across the seasonal cycle.
