Numbers of the branches of the central leader in different high zones were shown. According to our results, number of the branches of the axis was probably larger in the integrated production system, compared to the organic one, which is related to the conditional status of the trees. Based on our experiences training and maintaining canopies in integrated system was easier, as relative more extensive canopies were needed in organic farming.application/pdforganic farming systemintegrated farming systemgrowing characteristicsnumber of branchesfolyóiratcikkOpen Accesshttps://doi.org/10.31421/IJHS/24/3-4./2045International Journal of Horticultural Science3-424Int. j. hortic. sci.2676-931X
