Limited fruiting and excessive vegetative growth create an unprofitable scenario that can be difficult to manage. The main objective of our current research is to control vigor and/or induce early fruiting of pear trees to facilitate a balanced canopy compatible with high-density plantings. To achieve this, we have recently […]
