Intensification of production and technological processes in industrial fruit growing

Criterion-sign of intensive technologies Factors of process intensification
Criterion Meaning Factor Effect
Quick receipt of a commercial yield for the 2nd-3rd year Rootstock Reducing the strength of plant growth and preserving the production properties of varieties
Recoupment of original costs for the 4th year Variety Adaptation to the conditions of cultivation and possession of a set of specified economically valuable characteristics
Stable fruiting and relatively high yield 35-40 t per ha Planting material Obtaining an industrial yield from 2-3 years after planting
Profitability at the level of extended reproduction (profitability), which provides a comparably low cost of production More than 60% Planting plan of trees (fruit plants) Compliance with the growth strength of the variety/rootstock combination and the required feeding area
The optimal period of productive operation of plantings for the accumulation of funds for renovation including variety 15-17 years Crown form Providing, depending on the density of plant placement, the standard level of illumination of the leaf apparatus and the efficiency of photosynthesis
The necessary fruiting resource for the period of commercial fruiting of plantations to ensure the rationality of land use 530 t per ha Integrated plant and crop protection system Reduction of chemical pressure on agrocenoses and the costs of protecting plantings and crops
High commercial quality of products that characterize all structural solutions that contribute to the realization of the physiological and biochemical capabilities of the variety/rootstock combination The standard of fruits is not less than 90% Organo-mineral system of soil content Ensuring optimal plant nutrition and reproduction of soil fertility
