About this book deutschenglish

Interest in fruit production is growing and people prefer to eat locally produced fruit. Growth and development of apple and walnut fruit species are described in the areas of production technology, tree structure, plant care, plant physiology, fruiting potential, plant hormones, yield prediction and economics of walnut production. The shoots and fruits were analysed in a multi-year experiment in detail in four commercial walnut cultivars (“Lara”, “Franquette”, “Fernor” and “Zdole-59”). Architectural analysis teaches us about plant structure. Synthetic vision of the tree structure and plant shape could be presented in three-dimensional plant presentation. The challenge to realize synthetic fruit trees that would be placed in a virtual orchard for optimal tree response is described.

Fruiting, pruning and characteristic parts of the fruiting branch of an apple- and walnut tree are presented. The variability of the fruit quality reduces the earnings in fruit production. Many factors in fruit growing process have an impact on crop quality and are in close relation with plant physiology. Functioning of morphological processes are presented as a result of the functioning of the environment. Plant hormones play an important role in controlling plant growth and development. While metabolism supplies plants with energy and building units, hormones regulate the rate of growth of individual plant parts.

The question of future yield of walnuts has always been the crucial question for the producers. Walnut production is considered as a long-term investment. To conduct investment it is important to consider investment costs and future cash flows as results of walnut production. The walnut production could be a good strategy for part time and full time farmers.
