The effect of cane vigour on the kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis) and kiwiberry (Actinidia arguta) quality

Abstract Kiwifruit has not been studied as much as other well-known fruits especially when it comes to studies about plant vigour and training systems. The aim of the study was to determine the importance of cane vigour of Actinidia chinensis var. deliciosa ‘Hayward’ and Actinidia arguta ‘Issai’ in...
