Thinning is a complex of agrotechnical practices aimed at optimizing plant structure and their growing season conditions. Competent limitation of planting density and management of fruit tree canopy architectonics allow for balancing growth and fruiting processes, ensuring sunlight access to shoots and preventing overcrowding. Regardless of the crop, whether it is vegetable plants in open soil or perennial orchard-berry plantations, thinning and shaping methods are key tools for increasing harvest quality and stability.
This collection gathers materials describing practical aspects of working with various types of crops. Readers will find guides on shaping and reshaping fruit tree canopies, including the specifics of pruning cherries and plums, and will also learn about the biological role of desuckering grapes. Special attention is paid to vegetable crops, where thinning of seedlings and adherence to planting schemes determine the development of lettuce, spinach, Swiss chard, and radish. These articles will help agronomists and gardeners master the principles of vegetation management to achieve maximum efficiency and plant productivity under any growing conditions.
Greenhouses and covers For gardeners
The sun's altitude and the angle of incidence are key factors determining the amount of incoming solar radiation. Understanding these physical processes is essential for assessing the illumination of greenhouse structures throughout the day and the changing seasons
