Abstract
Yield per ha of the pear cultivar Doyenné du Comice increased with planting density from 2000 to 4000 trees per ha.
At a given density the planting system had no significant effect on yield in the first 7 years.
Inner trees yielded less than outer trees in three-row systems, but not in five-row beds.
Leaf area per tree decreased linearly with density.
Three rows and five rows tended to have a higher leaf area than single rows at a given density.
Light transmission per tree, recorded by fisheye analysis, decreased with density.
Trees in three rows and five-row beds tended to transmit less light than in single rows.
