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.
The 2025 cherry season in Spain’s Jerte Valley, Extremadura, started late but aims for stable output, local labor recruitment, and cautious entry into the Chinese market. The Protected Designation of Origin is also expanding to include three historic varieties.
At the beginning of the flowering, everything promised a big harvest, but the May rains and high humidity caused the fruit to start rotting. This is why cherry prices are higher this year, reaching 30 somoni (€2.60) in the capital.
Cherry breeding programs in Romania are developing early and late varieties with higher yields and improved resistance. These innovations extend harvest windows, enhance fruit quality, and support adaptation to climate change and evolving market demands.
In Quillón, the Agroclima Corazón de Paloma project brings a mobile app, weather stations and agroclimatic models to help around 60 small cherry growers manage orchards, protect a heritage variety and respond more effectively to climate change impacts.
