crop load management

Artificial spur extinction uses the size of the branch to determine the number of fruit it can comfortably carry, as seen on the tree at right. Conventional thinning, on the other hand, seeks to leave the same number of fruit on each branch, regardless of its size, as seen on the tree at left. By treating each branch variably, ASE creates more uniformity within the tree. Courtesy Suzanne Bishop
