Abstract

The orchard management system is associated with many factors, which has a direct and practical importance on the overall production and productivity of the orchard. The main aim of different cultural practices in temperate orchard management is to find out the real goal at minimum input cost and to sustain the framework of the orchard in a timely and efficient manner. Applications of model concepts lead to the more precise and uniform produce that ultimately support the homogeneity of fruit quality. Recent studies also found that interactions exist between different aspects of orchard management, namely, soil, irrigation, nutrition, training and pruning, weed competition, and plant growth dynamics in temperate fruit orchards. Research showed that adopting a scientific orchard management system will have the advantage of high accuracy in fruit quantity in general and quality in particular.
