Abstract:
Three experiments with cultivars within the
'Delicious,' 'Golden Delicious' and 'Mclntosh'
groups were followed for 2 years in young
commercial orchards.
Differences in yield and
its components were detected among cultivars
within groups.
While differences were not con
sistent from one year to the next there was no
indication of alternate cropping.
The number
of fruits harvested accounted for most of the
variation in yield in 1984 but the number of
flower clusters was more important in 1985.
Significant strain differences in yield were de
tected in 'Golden Delicious' in 1984 (due to
differences in the number of fruit harvested), in
'Delicious' in 1985 (not attributable to a single
yield component) and in 'Mclntosh' in 1985
(due to differences in the number of flower
clusters).
