Abstract

In this study, the effect of vegetative growth of branches was investigated by using six different pruning severity on eight-year-old ‘Redhaven’ and ‘Dixired’ peach trees was investigated. The pruning severity applied on the branches were as follows: 1) Non pruning (control), 2) Tipping (1-2cm), 3) Pruning of 1/3 of the branch, 4) Pruning of 1/2 of the branch, 5) Pruning of 2/3 of the branch, 6) Pruning above 3-6cm of the branch. Pruning of branches was performed between end of January and beginning of February during three years. After one year form each pruning, the length, diameter and bud amount of 2-year-old branches, and the length, diameter and bud amount of 1-year-old shoots grown from 2-year-old branches were determined and analysed

Effect of Different Pruning Severity on Vegetative Growth in Peach (Prunus persica)

Abstract

Bu çalışmada; sekiz yaşlı ‘Red Haven’ ve ‘Dixired’ şeftali çeşidi ağaçlarında, seçilen dallara altı farklı şiddette kesim uygulanarak, budama şiddetinin dalların vegetatif büyümesi üzerine etkisi araştırılmıştır. Dallara uygulanan kesim şiddetleri şöyledir: 1) Hiç budanmamış (kontrol), 2) Uç alma (1-2cm), 3) Dalın 1/3’ünün kesilmesi, 4) Dalın 1/2'sinin kesilmesi, 5) Dalın 2/3’ünün kesilmesi, 6) Dalın 3-6cm’den kesilmesi. Üç yıl süreyle Ocak sonu Şubat başı arasında dallar üzerinde kesimler yapılmış, bir yıl sonra iki yaşlı dal uzunluğu, çapı ve göz sayısı, bu dallardan oluşan yeni sürgünlerin sayısı, uzunluğu, çapı ve içerdikleri göz sayısı belirlenmiş ve elde edilen veriler analiz edilerek değerlendirilmiştir
