Peculiarities of the formation and pruning of the trees in the modern sweet cherry orchards
Abstract
The authors present the results of studying the methods of the formation and pruning in the sweet cherry orchard established in 2013 using the best native and foreign cultivar-rootstock combinations and optimally dense schemes of tree planting. Orbicular small crown appeared to be the most effective for all studied sweet cherry cultivars. It completely satisfying the biological peculiarities of the crop. This crown contributes to the reduction of labor costs when pruning trees by 1.8–2.2 times and provides the productivity by 1.5–3.2 times higher as compared to the spindle and multi-axis flattened crowns. The cultivars of classic breeding Talisman and Melitopolskaya myrnaya with low shoot-forming ability and pronounced storied branch distribution proved to be not suitable for forming the spindle-like crown. At the same time, when forming trees with the orbicular small crown, they ensured high yield (11.1–12.6 t/ha) and marketable fruits qualities. It is revealed that method of the formation and pruning don’t effect the fruits size and marketability on the seven-year-old trees. The cultivar Regina due to the low yield was not recommended for the establishing of industrial orchards in the Ukraine’s Lisosteppe.
