to minimize disease pressure Facilitate Management: 2. Distribute Scaffolds Well ?Easy entry to tree ?Thinning, pruning, harvesting ?Good pesticide coverage Facilitate Management: 3. Tree Uniformity ?Easier to train employees ?Mechanization possible Facilitate Management: 4. Tree Size ?Small trees are easier to work ? No ladders needed ? Easy to reach all parts of tree ?Better spray peration Facilitate Management of the Tree and Crop ? Optimize height of primary scaffolds ?Allow space at tree base ? Distribute scaffolds well ?Do not over crowd scaffolds ? Tree uniformity ? Limit tree size with summer and winter pruning C. Harvest Sunlight Efficiently ?Maximize surface area of orchard covered by canopy ?Limit canopy depth Harvest Sunlight Efficiently: 1. Maximize surface area of orchard covered by canopy Most rapid in high density plantings Harvest Sunlight Efficiently: 2.
