  • Analysis of bud and sylleptic shoot distribution along 1-year-old shoots of hazelnut (Corylus avellana)
    Tree architecture is important because it influences the light interception in the canopy. It determines where the different organs (e.g., leaves and fruits) are borne and, consequently, the source-sink interactions on the tree. Tree architecture directly affects the yield of filbert (Corylus avellana L.). In winter, four main structures are detectable on one-year-old shoots: mixed […]

  • Mango shelf-life modelling
    Australian mangoes (Mangifera indica) enjoy a high reputation owing to their large size, attractive skin blush, and sweet and juicy taste. Increasing demand in overseas markets, particularly Asian, indicates a great potential for export. However, risks during export such as high storage temperature in air freight or long in-transit times of sea shipments can cause […]

  • Effect of growth unit characteristics and light environment on leaf fall in the evergreen mango tree
    Leaf fall in the evergreen mango (Mangifera indica L.) is affected by physiological age and light environment. Details of these effects need to be determined. Previous studies have not described the dynamics of annual leaf fall of these trees. Our work aimed to decipher the effects of architectural and environmental factors on leaf fall at […]

  • Apple trees in garden-orchard system improve soil quality and yield of organic radish preceded by lettuce
    Maintaining healthy soil is a major challenge in agriculture. Tree-based intercropping is very promising to ensure high production and conserve soil quality, as shown in agroforestry systems. Trees improve soil fertility through the input of organic matter by litterfall and root turnover, which enhance the soil microbial activity. This study aims to evaluate the effects […]
