Pruning consists of eliminating a proportion of the plant to provide the desired shape to the tree, obtain early production, and achieve high productivity. Depending on the stage of development of the plant, pruning can be for training, production, rejuvenation or renewal.
It has been shown that a poor pruning strategy reduces the yield and quality of the fruit considerably. It is also known that the same pruning programs are not applicable to all regions or to all varieties. For this reason, it is necessary to develop research that allows the development of pruning practices more specific to the conditions of each region and variety or rootstock-variety combination. Our specialists accumulate great experience in the development of research projects for the development of new pruning methods in different crops and especially in walnut.
