Kiwifruit yield

Actinidia chinensis Planch.

Kiwifruit yield is assessed by the total mass of fruits per vine or centners per hectare, taking into account productivity components such as the number of flowering shoots, bud count, and their sprouting capacity.

In the reference 7 varieties crop Kiwifruit, where this is mentioned in the description.

When assessing kiwifruit yield, specialists take into account plot-based recording of the total fruit mass, their quantity, and the average weight of a single fruit. An important indicator is the potential productivity of the vine, which is determined before harvest by analyzing bud sprouting capacity and the number of flowering shoots, as well as accounting for the periodicity of fruiting.

Yield indicators directly depend on the age of the plantings and varietal characteristics, varying from 20-25 kg per vine at the onset of fruiting to 90-100 kg in mature plants of intensive types. On an industrial scale, average values range from 100 to 150 c/ha depending on the genotype and subtropical conditions.

The final kiwifruit harvest is strongly influenced by climatic factors, especially the risk of damage to young shoots by early spring frosts and air humidity during the flowering phase. Productivity levels are also determined by the quality of agrotechnical measures, such as managing the pollination process, crown formation, proper irrigation regimes, and ensuring optimal mineral nutrition.
