A Chilean study examined four levels of fruit load over two consecutive seasons. The results showed that reducing the fruit load, especially in the 60% and 40% treatments, significantly improved cherries weight, size, and firmness. However, the yield was unaffected.

Calcium is not very mobile throughout the plant. The lack of transport capacity makes it difficult to reach the growing fruits. Another issue is that Calcium follows the water flow through the xylem, which means that its absorption is closely tied to transpiration capacity.

One of the key elements of this growth is export innovation: the Cherry Express programme, created about five years ago, has reduced transit times between Chilean ports and China by 10 days, ensuring that the fruit arrives in optimal conditions.

The VPD measures the difference between the vapor pressure of the air and that on the surface of the fruit, indicating the air's ability to absorb moisture. A high VPD indicates that the air can absorb more moisture, which could lead to further dehydration.

Numerous studies in the USA and Argentina have shown that the insect tends to abandon orchards during certain times of the year, taking refuge in non-cultivated areas and then returning in the following spring. This behaviour has also been confirmed in Chile.
