    The document discusses the bearing habits of various fruit crops including: 1. Shoot bearing - Terminal flowering (mango, litchi) or lateral flowering (guava, apple). 2. Stem or branch bearing (jackfruit, cocoa, durian). 3. Spur bearing on short stubby shoots over one year (grapes, apple, pear). It also classifies fruit crops based on whether fruit buds are terminal or lateral, and whether flower buds contain only flower parts or mixed flowering shoots. Rejuvenation of old orchards through top working is mentioned to renew productivity.

    Bearing habits of fruit crops

    Dr.P.Prashanth
    Principal Scientist (Hort.)
    SKLTSHU, Hyderabad
    1. Shoot bearing –
    i) Terminal flowering – Mango, litchi, pine apple, banana, loquat, avacado etc

    Mango

    Depending on position of the fruit bud


    Litchi
    Loquat
    Loquat
    Avocado
    ii) Lateral flowering – Guava, ber, apple, papaya, orange, coconut, passion fruit etc

    Guava – Axillary flowering


    Papaya
    2. Stem or branch bearing – Cauliflorus bearing –
    on main stem or branch – Jack fruit,

    cocoa, durian, jaboticaba


    cocoa
    Durian
    3. Spur bearing – Short stubby shoot of more than one year – grapes, apple, pear, plum,
    apricot, almond, cherry etc.
    Apple spur
    Depending on shoot maturity on which fruit buds are produced:

    1. On current season growth – Guava, orange, papaya, sapota, aonla, phalsa, fig,
    karonda, coconut, loquat, ber, mulberry, grape, bael

    2. On old season growth – Mango, litchi, apple, pear, plum, peach, jack fruit, cocoa
    Classification according to bearing habit:
    Fruit buds Terminal Fruit bud lateral

    Fl. bud Mango Peach


    containing only
    flower parts

    Fl. bud mixed, Apple Litchi


    flowering shoot
    with terminal
    infl.

    Fl bud mixed, Pomegranate, guava Ber


    flowering shoot
    with lateral infl.
    Classification according to bearing habit:
    Fruit buds Terminal

    Flower bud I – Fruit buds terminal with


    containing flower flower parts only,
    parts only inflorescence without
    leaves
    Eg: Mango loquat

    Flower buds mixed II – Fruit bud terminal, un


    floding to produce leafy shoots
    that terminate in flower
    cluster.
    Eg: Apple, pear, quince,
    walnut, pecan nut
    Fruit buds Terminal

    Flower bud mixed, III - flower buds terminal


    flowering shoot with lateral after un folding they
    inflorescence produce leafy shoots with
    flowers in leaf axils
    Incomplete terminal
    bearing habit , fruit lateral Eg: Pomegranate, guava,
    to growth Olive etc

    Flower bud is terminal


    Fruit buds lateral

    Flower bud containing IV – Flower buds produce laterally , contain flower parts only
    flower parts only Inflorescence without leaves, if – with reduced size
    Eg: Peach, plum, apricot, cherry, almond, date, coconut,
    citrus, walnut and pecan nut (staminate)
    Fruit buds lateral

    Flower bud mixed V – Fruit buds borne laterally, unfloding to produce leafy
    shoots that terminate in flower clusters.
    Shoot with terminal Eg: litchi, black berry, rasp berry, grape, cashew nut, blue
    inflorescence berry
    But lateral flower buds
    Grape
    Cashew nut
    FRUIT BUDS LATERAL

    Flower bud mixed, VI – Fruit borne laterally, unfloding to produce leafy shoots
    flowering shoot with with flower clusters in the leaf axils
    lateral inflorescence Eg: Ber, fig, mulberry, pistachio nut, star apple, avocado,
    Olive
    REJUVENATION OLD ORCHARDS

    Renew or making new


    Practice of restoring the productive capacity of the fruit trees.
    Reasons:
    1. Age
    2. Damage due to adverse weather – Hollowness
    3. Infestation of pests, diseases,
    4. Unsystematic planting
    5. Inferior variety

    Replacement:
    1. Unproductiveness
    2. Cv. Old
    3. Cv. poor growth
    4. Cv. Susp. to diseases and insects

    METHOD – TOP WORKING


    Procedure:

    1. Selection of plant to be rejuvenated

    2. Selection of mother plants for bud wood or scion

    3. Methods –

    4.Heading back

    5. Selection and preparation of scion –

    6. Budding
