Pistillate Flower Abcission Symptoms of ’Serr’ Walnut (Juglans RegiaL.)

Pistillate flower abscission (PFA) severely affects walnut (Juglans regia L.) production, mainly of the cultivar ’Serr’. A study on symptoms of flower abortion in walnut ’Serr’, induced by excess or lack of pollen, was carried out following the evolution of fl...
