The management of mature macadamia orchards has evolved largely through the need to
control inter-row crowding to maintain machinery access. The current study was undertaken …

Intercropping is the cultivation of multiple crop species on the same land. Relay strip
intercropping is an intercropping system in which the component species are grown in strips …

Hand‐harvested traditional plantations with 70–100 trees ha− 1 are being replaced by high‐
density mechanically harvested orchards. Diverse typologies of high‐density orchards are …

In agroforestry systems (AFS), quantifying the competition for light is a prerequisite toward
understanding the impact of shade trees on the productivity of the under-crop. Models for …

The formulation and evaluation of a model of radiation interception by fruit-tree orchards is
presented. The model computes radiation interception based on the proportion of the …

Successful agroforestry systems depend on minimizing tree-cropcompetition. In this study,
field experiments and a simulation model were usedto distinguish between tree-crop …

Identifying the characteristics of light interception and utilization is of great significance for
improving the potential photosynthetic activity of plants. The present research investigates …

Practice of agroforestry system on tree-less lands provides a unique opportunity to improve
soil health/quality while maintaining crop productivity in additional to provision of tree …

Temporal dynamics and structural complexity of plant canopies strongly affect light
harvesting, generating variable spatio-temporal distributions of the irradiance on leaf area …

Profiles of fruit density, fruit size, and oil content were measured on 12 occasions in 7 olive
orchards in Spain and 2 in Australia. Orchard structure varied widely. Height ranged from 2.0 …
