00:00:00 - 00:00:00

In the YouTube video "Poda do pessegueiro - safra 2013/2014," farmers prepare for the peach harvest, starting with pruning or poda, which is essential for high-quality fruit. The ideal time for pruning is during late autumn when the cold is increasing and winter is approaching. Pruning is divided into two parts: winter pruning, currently being done in summer orchards, and first thinning, done during harvest. Producers often overlook this procedure, but it facilitates labor and improves fruit quality. Proper care, including fertilization and water, strengthens the trunk, allowing effective pruning and removal of unproductive branches. These measures influence the final harvest outcome, and a good pruning score is crucial for maintaining leaves longer on the tree and ensuring easy fruit removal for ripening before harvesting. Despite being labor-intensive and costly, pruning is necessary for a successful peach harvest.

• 00:00:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Poda do pessegueiro - safra 2013/2014," farmers are preparing for the harvest of the peach tree, which begins in November. The support of the peach tree is an essential part of this process, and now farmers start checking which branches need to be removed to obtain a high-quality fruit. The ideal time for peach tree pruning, or poda, is during the late autumn when the cold is increasing and winter is approaching. The pruning process is divided into two parts: the winter pruning, which is currently being executed in summer orchards, and the first thinning, also known as green pruning, which is done during the harvest operation. Producers often overlook this procedure, but it is crucial for facilitating labor and improving fruit quality. The peach tree that receives extra care in fertilization and water becomes a stronger trunk, allowing the farmer to distribute pruning more effectively and remove unproductive branches. These care measures are essential as they influence the final harvest outcome. If the plant has been well-cultivated throughout the period, it can choose to bear fruit, and if it has received proper treatment, it will maintain leaves longer on the tree, resulting in a better physiological response during pruning. A good pruning score directly affects this result, and the farmer should aim for an ideal number of fruits. Although pruning is a labor-intensive and costly task, it ensures that the farmer can easily remove the fruit after this procedure and wait for it to ripen before harvesting. Finally, the fruit is removed from the tree to leave more space for the tree to grow.
