PAS_1	"Excessive vegetativegrowth adversely affects fruit setting while excessive fruit load reduces development of treecanopy. Skillful orchard management at this stage includes maintenance of optimum number of bearing branches as per the nutritional status and health of plant. Young trees tends to have more vegetative growth, therefore, it has been observed that sometimes fruit production is suppressed by excessive vegetative flushing, particularly during autumn. Therefore, effective measures like ringing, girdling, fostering of winter shoots, use of paclobutrazol, etc. can be applied for proportional crop production." http://tmnehs.gov.in/writereaddata/Chap-8.pdf
