The effects of single-axis and multi-axis training systems on cumulative yield and nut quality of ‘Barcelona’ and ‘Tonda di Giffoni’ in two different agroecological zones in southern Chile

Training system trials of single-axis and multi-axis on ‘Barcelona’ and ‘Tonda di Giffoni’ were established in season of 2007-08 in order to study their effects on productive behavior under two agroecological areas in the Araucanía region of southern Chile.
In Vilcún area, ‘Barcelona’ plants trained with single-axis gave higher accumulative yield (1,824.7 kg ha^-1) than the plants trained with multi-axis (1,660.2 kg ha^-1) during the period 2013-2015 (p>0.05). Tonda di Giffoni’ between the two training systems, 1,424.2 kg ha^-1 (single-axis) and 1,523.3 kg ha^-1 (multi-axis), respectively.
The differences are not statistically significant.
In Nueva Imperial area, ‘Barcelona’ produced slightly higher accumulated yield (2,232.8 kg ha^-1) on single-axis than the multi-axis training system (2,228.8 kg ha^-1) without statistically significant difference between the treatments.
There were no differences observed in kernel yield between the training systems.
However, single-axis training system produced higher accumulated yield (1,897 kg ha^-1) than the multi-axis one (1,446 kg ha^-1) in ‘Tonda di Giffoni’ (p<0.05). Regarding kernel yield no differences were observed between the two training systems studied.
