ALTERNATE BEARING IN FRUIT PLANTS

Abstract

Fruit trees exhibit a characteristic called "alternate bearing," which means that some fruit trees have fewer flowers in years when they have a lot of fruit. Pollination, temperature, carbohydrate concentration, family, cultivator, fruit load, and environmental pressures are physiological and biochemical factors contributing to alternate bearing in trees. Phytohormones are also considered very important for fruit production, both in good years and in bad ones. The alternate bearing index (I) determines how often crops grow in different places. When done right, trimming, thinning, and controlling when flower buds start to grow can lead to normal fruiting. Also, genetics, management practices, and biotic and abiotic stresses can cause a bird to change how it bears its young. To reduce the effects of alternate bearing, it's important to use good management techniques and choose types that are less likely to do this
