有关更多光照进入果树树体的研究将改革农作物的种植方式。新西兰植物和食品研究专家正探索新型果园种植体系,将“接受更多光照的果树与藤蔓植物结果更多”这一理论付诸试验。研究组组长塔斯汀指出,该方法将完全改变果园构造,以使果树冠层获取更多光照条件。如果果树获取的光照能量能从60%增加至85%或90%,苹果园的产量将翻一番。该方法最初只用于苹果研究,但也可应用于其他果树,如核果类果树和猕猴桃等。目前研 Research into more light into fruit tree trees will change the way crops are grown. New Zealand plant and food experts are exploring new types of orchard planting systems that put the theory of “more fruit trees and vine plants that receive more light” into practice. Tustin, head of the research team, said the method would completely change the orchard structure so that the tree canopy gets more light. If the fruit tree can increase the amount of light energy from 60% to 85% or 90%, apple orchard output will double. This method was originally used only for apple studies but could also be applied to other fruit trees such as stone fruit trees and kiwi fruit. At present research
