Growth and development of Carambola Averrhoa carambola L. under high density planting

Syed Mohd S.I., . and Wong K.C., . (1996) Growth and development of Carambola Averrhoa carambola L. under high density planting. [Proceedings Paper]

High-density plantings using appropriate dwarfing rootstock or other growth-controlling measures have been successfully adopted in the production of temperate fruits such as apples and peaches. Early regular yield of good quality fruits and high productivity per unit area are some of the advantages in this fruit production system. A series of trials on high-density planting in combination with training and root restriction ofcarambola Averrhoa carambola L. was conducted at Universiti Pertanian Malaysia. Under unrestricted root conditions and with minimize pruning and training increasing plant density to above 2 000 plantslha reduced trunk size but increased plant height. When combined with root restriction by artificial barrier increasing density up to 12 500 plants/ha had no effect on plant height total shoot length and trunk cross-sectional area. Root restriction by artificial barrier provided an effective control of vegetative vigour for high-density plantings in carambola.

Abstract

High-density plantings using appropriate dwarfing rootstock or other growth-controlling measures have been successfully adopted in the production of temperate fruits such as apples and peaches. Early regular yield of good quality fruits and high productivity per unit area are some of the advantages in this fruit production system. A series of trials on high-density planting in combination with training and root restriction ofcarambola Averrhoa carambola L. was conducted at Universiti Pertanian Malaysia. Under unrestricted root conditions and with minimize pruning and training increasing plant density to above 2 000 plantslha reduced trunk size but increased plant height. When combined with root restriction by artificial barrier increasing density up to 12 500 plants/ha had no effect on plant height total shoot length and trunk cross-sectional area. Root restriction by artificial barrier provided an effective control of vegetative vigour for high-density plantings in carambola.
