Abstract

ONE of the main aims of the successful apple grower is to reduce seasonal variations in cropping.

With this in view it has become apparent that provision for adequate cross pollination can be important in certain seasons, especially with Granny Smiths, if full advantage is to be taken of chemical thinning and other improved methods of orchard management.
