Technical actions on the apex of trees to obtain anticipated branching in the area of crown formation in the fruit nursery

Abstract

In order to determine the reaction of Gala Schniga SchniCo Red grafted on the biotype M9T337 to different intervention techniques on the tree apex to increase the degree of bud emergence of the anticipated shoots in field II of the tree nursery, the following variants were studied: 1. Free growth (control); 2. Progerbalin LG, 25 ml; 3. Progerbalin LG, 25+25 ml; 4. Progerbalin LG, 25 ml + apical leaf break; 5. Progerbalin LG, 25+25 ml + apical leaf breakage. It was established, that the higher number of anticipated branches in the area of crown formation was registered in the variant treated with the product Progerbalin LG, 25+25 ml (8.0 pcs), as well as their total length was higher in this variant (373.6 cm).
