Now a days, the farmer’s trend has been changed from traditional farming to high density planting and rejuvenation of old orchard. So, number of branches of the plant and leaf area index (LAI) plays vital role in determining plant yield. Optimized light distribution in branch and its interaction with different parts is critical for enhancing photosynthesis, flower bud development, fruit development and colour formation. This experiment is carried out ... Continue Reading
