Abstract
Results of experiments with modified apple "meadow orchards" in different fruit growing areas of Spain (Madrid, Zaragoza, Asturias and Malaga) are presented.
A range of cultivars, rootstocks and planting densities were studied.
Daminozide (‘Alar’) and paclobutrazol (‘Cultar’) were applied at different timings and concentrations.
Instead of de-heading the trees every two years, as in the original meadow orchard system, shoot growth and cropping were controlled by growth retardants and light winter pruning.
