High-Quality Feathered Nursery Apple Plant Production Technology

overview

This technology enables the production of high-quality feathered apple nursery trees by optimising factors influencing feather formation such as plant growth regulators, spray schedules, genotype behaviour, and cultural practices. The process results in two-year-old, well-feathered trees with desirable height, caliper, and branching structure, supporting the establishment of productive orchards. Pure planting material, technical guidance, and one-week training are provided.
