Journal of Fruit and Ornamental Plant Research Vol. 16, 2008: 75-81 THE INFLUENCE OF TWO TRAINING SYSTEMS ON GROWTH AND CROPPING OF THREE PEAR CULTIVARS Ireneusz Sosna and Marta Czaplicka Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences Pl. Grunwaldzki 24a, 50-363 Wrocław, POLAND (Received August 5, 2008/Accepted September 30, 2008) A B S T R A C T The influence of two training systems on growth, cropping and fruit quality of three pear cultivars was estimated in the experiment conducted during 2001-2005 at the Fruit Experimental Station near Wrocław, South-Western Poland. The experiment was carried out on Dicolor Erika and Radana trees on Quince S 1 rootstock planted in a randomized split-plot design in 4 replications with 7-8 trees per a plot. The trees were trained in two systems: Drilling form and V-Güttingen and were spaced in rows at 1.7 m and 1.2 m, respectively, whereas a distance between the rows was 3.5 m. Results showed that pear trees trained as a V-Güttingen gave higher yield per hectare. Tree form had no influence on fruit quality. Trees in V-Güttingen system had thinner trunks than in Drilling. Significantly higher cumulative yield was obtained for Erika. The smallest fruits had Dicolor. Key words: pear, Quince S 1, Drilling, V-Güttingen, yield, growth, quality INTRODUCT ION Pear production in Poland reaches 5% of apple production and consumption per capita is only 1.5 kg yearly (Błaszczyk, 2005). However, increasing consumer s interest in this fruit is the motivation to enhance the production and use new cultivars by orchardists (Kruczyńska, 2006), especially for fruits with attractive taste or interesting look, e.g. with red blush like Dicolor (Kurlus and Łysiak, 1999). Planting and training systems were examined in economic and ecological terms for high quality production. Many such experiments were carried out with apple trees.

I. Sosna and M. Czaplicka Drilling (triplet) trees have three main branches; therefore vegetative growth is partitioned into three elements of equal strength (Widmer and Krebs, 1997), whereas V-system trees have one branch. Drilling is a new training system and was developed in Güttingen experimental farm belonging to the Swiss Federal Research Station (FAW). There are three branch elements instead of four as with the Mikado system and therefore it is suitable for cultivars with less vigorous growth (Widmer and Krebs, 1997). The pattern of light intensity in open canopies, such as V- Güttingen, Mikado and Solen, promotes high fruit quality (Buler and Mika, 2004). According to Widmer and Krebs (1997), an important advantage of these novel systems is lower investment cost of establishing orchards compared with the currently used spindle single-row system, but Meland and Hovland (1997) and Vercammen (2002) claim that planting and cultivating practice during the first three years of growth in V- system are associated with higher cost, as compared with traditional training system. The open-tree form like Drilling allows optimal light interception and generates good fruit quality (Widmer and Krebs, 2001). Mikado and triple systems develop the light interception advantages of the V-systems further, while reducing planting costs (Widmer, 2005). The aim of our experiment was to compare cropping, fruit quality and vegetative growth of three pear cultivars trained as a V-Güttingen and Drilling during first five years after planting. MATERIAL AND M ETHODS The experiment was conducted at the Fruit Experimental Station in Samotwór near Wrocław during 2001-2005. The research was carried out on Dicolor Erika and Radana trees on Quince S 1 rootstock planted in a randomized split-plot design in 4 replications with 7 trees per a plot. The trees were trained in two systems and were spaced in rows at 1.7 m (Drilling form 3 leaders, 1681 trees ha -1 ) and 1.2 m (V-Güttingen 1 leader, 2381 trees ha -1 ), whereas a distance between the rows was 3.5 m. It this way, the number of leaders per hectare in Drilling form (5043) was more than twice higher in comparison with V-Güttingen (2381). Two-year-old trees were planted as non-feathered (laterals had to be removed because they grew too low) and therefore they were cut down at a height of 60 cm above the budding place. For that reason their yielding was delayed by one growing season. Trees were not irrigated and fruitlets were not thinned. Trees were pruned only during summer period. Plant protection was carried out according to the current recommendations of the Orchard Protection Programme. In 2002-2005, records of yield and fruit quality were taken. The results were statistically elaborated by an analysis of variance. The significance of differences between means was evaluated by Duncan s multiple range t-test at p = 0.05. 76 J. Fruit Ornam.

two training systems on growth and cropping of pear cultivars RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Trees in the experiment had the same growth vigour. There were no significant differences between training systems in number and total length of annual shoots (Tab. 1). Sosna (2004) observed more intensive vegetative growth of Elstar and Jonagold apple trees training in V-Güttingen than in Drilling on apples. However, similar influence of Mikado and spindle system on growth in first years was obtained in experiments performed by Buler and Mika (2004) on apple trees. Cultivar had no influence on total length of annual shoots per a tree. Number of shoots was significantly higher in Erika (77) than in Carola and Dicolor (52 and 41, respectively). Interaction of these factors (cultivar and training system) shows important differences in number of shoots. Dicolor with both training systems and Carola in drilling system were assigned to the group with low number of shoots. Interaction had important influence of total length of shoots, too. The highest total length of shoots had Erika in both systems and Dicolor in Drilling. Carola and Dicolor in V-system had significantly shorter total length of shoots. There were no differences between trees in double-factors combination for TCSA and crop efficiency index (Tab. 2). Similar results were obtained by Sosna (2006) on Conference and Komisówka. In this trial there was no influence of canopy training system on vegetative growth of pear trees. There was also no significant difference in CEC index between cultivars. Important differences were observed in TCSA, where Carola had the smallest one (18.8 cm 2 ) as compared with Dicolor (23.8 cm 2 ) and Erika (24.8 cm 2 ). TCSA values are substantially higher than these obtained by Błaszczyk (2005) in experiment on trees in the same age bracket. Influence of training system was distinct on TCSA trees trained in V-Güttingen system had thinner trunks (21.0 cm 2 ) than these trained in Drilling system (23.9 cm 2 ). Differences in TCSA and cumulative yield are reflected in various CEC index. For trees trained in V-system it averaged 0.98 whereas for these trained in Drilling system it was only 0.76. Cumulative yield for first five years averaged 18 kg per tree in Drilling system and 20.5 kg in V- system (Tab. 3) and this difference is not significant. Opposite results observed Widmer et al. (2005) on apple Golden Delicious, where yields per tree were highest in the triple system. There are no significant differences in yield per a tree, but per hectare trees in V-Güttingen system produced 48.8 tons while these trained in Drilling only 30.4 tons. Level of yielding of V-system was lower also in experiment conducted by Iglesias et al. (2004) with Conference pear trees. Similar effect obtained Mass and Steeg (2001) in Netherlands, where V-system with single branched trees was characterised by the highest production in the first three years after planting. J.

Erika was recognized also as a highly productive cultivar by another researchers (Blazek et al., 2003; Błaszczyk, 2005). There was no significant influence of a training system on fruit quality. Mean fruit weight was comparable in both the training systems and in all the combinations. Similar results were obtained by Iglesias et al. (2004) in a trial with Conference. Good fruit quality from open tree form was obtained by Widmer and Krebs (2001) on Royal Gala and Golden Delicious apple trees and by Sosna (2004) on Elstar and Jonagold. Erika and Carola fruit had similar weight (254 and 241 g), which were significantly heavier than fruit of Dicolor (193 g). It is in agreement with general opinion that Erika and Carola are characterised as largesize fruit cultivars, whereas Dicolor is assigned to the group of cultivars with medium-size fruit (Kurlus and Łysiak, 1999; Paprstein and Bouma, 2000; Błaszczyk, 2005).

Posadzono dwuletnie drzewka gruszy odmian Carola, Dicolor i Erika na podkładce pigwa S 1. Grusze prowadzono w koronie wrzecionowej jednoprzewodnikowej, posadzonej w systemie V w rozstawie 3,5 x 1,2 m (2381 drzew ha -1 ) oraz w formie korony trzyprzewodnikowej Drilling, w rozstawie 3,5 x 1,7 m (1681 drzew ha -1 ). Doświadczenie założono metodą podbloków, w czterech powtórzeniach, po 7 drzew na każdym poletku doświadczalnym. Za pierwszy czynnik uznano formęprowadzenia korony, za drugi odmianę. Dwuletnie drzewka miały nieliczne, zbyt nisko położone odgałęzienia boczne, więc po posadzeniu były one usunięte. Dla porównania średnich zastosowano test t- Duncana, przyjmując poziom istotności 5%. Celem badańbyła ocena wpływu formy korony na wzrost i owocowanie drzew kilku odmian gruszy. Forma korony nie miała istotnego wpływu na wysokośćplonu z drzewa oraz średniąmasęowoców w pierwszych latach po posadzeniu. Jednak w przeliczeniu na jednostkę powierzchni, istotnie wyższe plony zebrano z drzew prowadzonych w systemie V-Güttingen. Drzewa prowadzone w koronie Drilling charakteryzowały się większym polem przekroju poprzecznego pnia. Z uwagi na słabszy wzrost wegetatywny, drzewa prowadzone na jeden przewodnik uzyskały wyższy współczynnik plenności. Do piątego roku po posadzeniu najobficiej plonowały drzewa odmiany Erika (24,2 kg), dając istotnie wyższy plon z drzewa w porównaniu z odmianami Carola i Dicolor (odpowiednio 15,5 oraz 18,2 kg). Duże owoce miały odmiany Erika i Carola (odpowiednio 254 i 241 g). Ich masa różniła sięistotnie od owoców Dicolor (193 g). Odmiany różniły sięsiłąwzrostu drzew mierzonąpolem przekroju poprzecznego pnia. Słabszym wzrostem charakteryzowała sięodmiana Carola. Z uwagi na wyższy współczynnik plenności, przy porównywalnym plonowaniu z drzewa i jakości owoców w pierwszych latach po posadzeniu, za bardziej korzystne uznaćnależy prowadzenie drzew gruszy w systemie V-Güttingen.
