These optimal conditions — i.e. the balance between shoot development and yield — can be achieved by the rationalization of the production technologies, such as: reduction of the size of the crown adaptation of the severity and method of pruning to the conditions of the actual year removal of the shoot tips timely fruit thinning By establishing an improved level of plant nutrient uptake, this will ensure a healthy balance between shoot growth and yield.application/pdfapplecherrynutritional statuspruningcrown sizefruit positionshoot tip removalfruit thinningfolyóiratcikkOpen AccessInternational Journal of Horticultural Sciencehttps://doi.org/10.31421/IJHS/9/2/389International Journal of Horticultural Science29Int. j. hortic. sci.2676-931X
