Abstract. ‘Early Redhaven’ and ‘Inka’ seedling Prunus mandshurica rootstock were planted in three densities: 416, 555, 833 trees per hectare. Yield per area unit depended on the density of the trees. For ‘Inka’ cv. trees planted in the highest density, the total yield per ha, in 1997-2005 years, was higher by 43-93% in comparison with the trees planted sparsely in the rows.

Yielding and growth of two cultivars of peach trees depending on the density and the form of the canopy

Summary

Peach trees: ‘Early Redhaven’ and ‘Inka’ cvs. on seedling Prunus mandshurica rootstock were planted in the spring of 1996 year with three densities: 416, 555, 833 trees per hectare. Trees spaced at 3 and 4 m in the rows were formed in Open Vase system, while those planted at 2 m distance were trained in V system. Yield per area unit depended on the density of the trees. For ‘Inka’ cv. trees planted with the highest density, the total yield per ha, in 1997-2005 years, was higher 43-93% in comparison with the trees planted sparsely in the row. Planting peach trees at the spacing of 2 m in the rows and training the trees in V system limited the vegetative growth expressed by trunk cross-sectional area.
