Orchard thinning can avoid biennial bearing and improve fruit quality, which is a necessary
agronomic section in orchard management. The existing methods of artificial fruit thinning …

In this study, a robust method for 3D pose estimation of immature green apples (fruitlets) in
commercial orchards was developed, utilizing the YOLO11 object detection and pose …

This study evaluated unripe fruits of ten apple cultivars removed during fruit thinning for their
antioxidant activity and mineral content. The unripe fruits were collected from Chuncheon …

The evaluation of the canopy in orchard cultivation is a key aspect for the main cultivation
techniques, such as pruning, thinning, harvesting, production and improved fruit quality. The …

Peach orchards are usually hand-thinned at around 40–60 days after bloom, but this
practice is labor-intensive and costly. Ethylene plays a key role in peach fruitlet abscission …

Camellia oleifera Abel is one of the four major woody oil species that produce edible oil from
seeds. Nevertheless, its oil yield is comparably low, due to an imbalance in its source–sink …

Accurate detection and ranging of trunks in orchards are crucial components of intelligent
plant protection and harvesting. However, existing methods mostly focus on trunk detection …

Background Flower load in peach is an important determinant of final fruit quality and is
subjected to cost-effective agronomical practices, such as the thinning, to finely balance the …

Abstract Peach (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) trees are prone to heavy cropping, but crop load
management options are limited. 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) has been …
