引言为了本国消费和出口到亚洲的需要,澳大利亚已经发展了荔枝(Litchi chinens-is)生产业(澳大利亚农业经济局,1984)。在昆士兰北部沿海,昆士兰中部和南部地区,以及新南威尔士北部地区相继建立了小规模的商品果园。这些果园的荔枝产量很低而且不平衡,可能是由于冬天的寒冷或干燥条件满足不了这些荔枝树的休眠要求,导致春天的开花很少。 INTRODUCTION Australia has developed the Litchi chinens-ise production industry (Australian Bureau of Agricultural Economics, 1984) for domestic consumption and the need to export to Asia. Small-scale commodity orchards have been established in the northern coast of Queensland, central and southern Queensland, and northern New South Wales. The litchi production in these orchards is low and unbalanced, probably due to the cold or dry conditions in winter that can not satisfy the dormancy requirements of these lychee trees, resulting in little flowering in spring.
