With this study, we compared the effects of three CWC levels: Weak, Moderate, and Strong for the orchard performance of apple in the Mediterranean area. The study was conducted at a 'Golden Delicious'/M. 9 orchard in a high-density formation (3.5 x 1 m spacing). Cumulative yield was greatest in Weak-CWC, and it decreased as CWC increased. Overall, Weak-CWC performed remarkable results for successful apple production under Mediterranean conditions.en10.24326/asphc.2017.5.2info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessapplefruit setMalus x domesticaorganic mattertrunk cross-sectional areaArticle1651318Q3WOS:000416066600002Q4
