TRAINING AND PRUNING

Training and pruning are important operations. Both the operations form an indispensable process having direct bearing on growth and vigour of plants and yield and quality of fruits. A properly trained and pruned plant sustain heavy crop load and produce bounteous harvest of quality. Training refers to the judicious removal of plant part / parts to develop proper shape of a plant capable of bearing a heavy crop load whereas pruning is defined as the judicious removal of plant parts like root, leaf, flower, fruit etc.to obtain a good and qualitative yield. Thus, it can be conceived that the training is related to shape and size of plants where as pruning is related with harvesting better yield and more so harvesting fruits of quality. Both the operations of training and pruning work together in maintaining shape and size of tree and harvesting desirable yield. Training is a treatment given to the young plants to get a suitable or desirable shape with strong framework. It may or may not involve pruning. Pruning is the removal of unwanted, surplus annual growth; dead, dried and diseased wood of the plants is called Pruning.
