Abstract
The effects of girdling on fruit growth stages II and III and on post-harvest quality were studied. Trees were girdled at the beginning of growth stage II. The consequent increase in fruit size was due to a 29% increased growth rate during growth stage II. Girdling did not increase the growth rate during growth stage III. The earlier maturity of fruit from the girdled trees was due to a four-day reduction in the duration of growth stage II. Girdling inci eased the incidence of pit splitting from 14% to 32% and led to a 24% increase in the occurrence of the low-temperature storage disorder, woolliness.
