title: Planting density impact on the processes of fruit-bearing wood formation and leafi ness of pear tree crowns in intensive orchards of Crimea
abstract: In order to increase the productivity of modern intensive orchards, it is important to select scion-rootstock combinations of early-fruiting and high-yielding cultivars with a compact crown that provide a small crown size and enable dense tree planting. This increases the yield of plantations per unit area and reduces labor costs for tree maintenance and harvesting. The research aims to study the eff ect of dense planting patterns on tree growth processes and fruit-bearing wood formation in the
