Global climate change exerts a significant impact on sustainable horticultural crop
production and quality. Rising Global temperatures have compelled the agricultural …

The Mediterranean basin (MB), a “climate hotspot”, is experiencing faster than average
increases in global temperature and water deficit, as well as soil degradation, with …

In a rapidly changing climate resulting in warmer winters, knowledge on the chilling and
heat requirements of deciduous fruit tree cultivars is a pre-requisite for adaptation; however …

Japanese plum, like other temperate fruit tree species, has cultivar-specific temperature
requirements during dormancy for proper flowering. Knowing the temperature requirements …

Agro-climatic requirements are of crucial importance for establishment and management of
nut tree orchards. In this work, we investigated timing and duration of key reproductive …

Flowering in temperate fruit trees depends on the temperatures during the previous months;
chill is required to overcome endodormancy, and then heat exposure is needed. These …

One of the most important agroclimatic variables for stone fruit production is winter chill
accumulation. To estimate chill accumulation in locations where climatic data is not …

The success of pistachio production depends on the best selection of female and male trees
combined with perfect flowering synchronization. In warm areas, flowering is highly affected …

Sweet cherry producers must deal with different climactic challenges annually, specifically
the impact of spring frost and the inherent risk of fruit cracking. This susceptibility arises from …

This study presents the results of the development of numerical models for predicting the
timing of apricot flowering, including using experimental data on the emergence of plants …
