Variety traits

Quince yield

Cydonia oblonga Mill.

Quince yield is a key economic trait, which is evaluated in kg per tree or tons per hectare, starting from the 3rd–4th year of the plant's life.

In the reference 41 varieties crop Quince, where this is mentioned in the description.

For commercial quince cultivation, a productivity level in the range of 17.2–24.2 t/ha is considered effective, while in intensive orchards, figures can reach 25.0 t/ha. The individual productivity of a mature tree often ranges from 25 to 100 kg of fruit.

Yield stability across years is an important breeding parameter that determines the value of a cultivar. Yield is closely linked to agronomic practices, in particular moisture availability, as irrigation deficit leads to a decrease in fruit quality and an increase in the number of stone cells.
