Title: A Method for Blind Node Evaluation
Authors: U. Boonprakob, D.H. Byrne and R.E. Rouse
Abstract:
A quick visual method for evaluating blind
node propensity is proposed.
The method is
based on the proportion of blind nodes on one-year-
old shoots.
The scores ranged from 1 as
less than one third of the branch having blind
nodes, to 9 as greater than two thirds of the
branch having mind nodes.
The correlation
coefficient (r) of actual percentage of blind
nodes was 0.84 indicating that this method will
be useful to evaluate peach germplasm for
blind node propensity.
