dc.description.abstractThe present investigation on the “Effect of different pruning intensities on growth, flowering, yield and quality characteristics of nectarine cvs. Silver King and Snow Queen” was conducted in the experimental orchard of the Department of Fruit Science during the year, 2009 and 2010. The study was conducted on 5 year old nectarine plants of two cultivars namely; Silver King and Snow Queen, planted at a spacing of 2 m x 3 m and trained according to open centre system. The experiment comprised of nine pruning treatments viz., T1-20% thinning out + ¼ heading back, T2-20% thinning out + ½ heading back, T3-20% thinning out + ¾ heading back, T4 - 40% thinning out + ¼ heading back, T5-40% thinning out + ½ heading back, T6-60% thinning out + ¼ heading back, T7-60% thinning out + ½ heading back, T8-60% thinning out + ¾ heading back, and T9-40% thinning out + ¾ heading back (control). The results of the present investigation revealed that among different pruning intensities, the best results in terms of growth and flowering characteristics namely; shoot extension, trunk growth, leaf emergence, leaf area, flower initiation, full bloom; fruit quality characteristics namely; fruit weight, fruit size, sugar acid ratio and pulp stone ratio of nectarine fruits were recorded with the treatment T8 where 60% thinning out + ¾ heading back was done. The best grade i.e. three layer grade fruits were also observed to be maximum with this treatment. Among two cultivars, Silver King exhibited better growth, yield and quality characteristics than the Snow Queen.en_US
