Mestrado em Engenharia Agronómica - Instituto Superior de Agronomia Vegetative and reproductive aspects of 5 year old orchard of Rocha 'pear on Sydo rootstock trained in Vertical Axis, Palmette with 3 axes, Solaxe and Tatura systems were evaluated. Yield per hectare showed a large increase in 2011 compared with 2010, Vertical axis yield 88 tha-1, Palmette 66 tha-1, Solaxe 76 tha-1and Tatura 84 tha-1. Fruit thinning was not done. Palmette was the system whose branches had lower cross-sectional area and length, lower fruit production and lower fruit set and fruit drop, however it was the only one with the highest percentage (52%) of fruit diameter greater than 60 mm. Average fruit diameter was similar for Vertical Axis, Solaxe and Tatura (50.1, 50.2 and 48.3 mm) and statistically different for the Palmette system (53.6 mm). Highest values of TSS of the fruits were observed for the Palmette (12.1%) and Tatura (11.7%) and lowest for the vertical axis (11.6%) and Solaxe systems (11.2%). Prohexadione-calcium (150 gha-1) did not have an effect on the number, length and diameter of crowned brindles; the observed differences were due to the training systems. In the 5th year, the orchard has had positive net income, not considering fruit size and TSS, the most profitable is the Vertical Axis and the less profitable is the Palmette system.

Mestrado em Engenharia Agronómica - Hortofruticultura e Viticultura - Instituto Superior de Agronomia With the aim of evaluating production, qualitative and economic aspects of four training systems during 2010, at Peral, Cadaval, 4-yr-old ‗Rocha‘ pear trees (Pyrus communis L.) grafted on Sydo and trained as vertical axis (1.0 x 4.0 m), open tatura trellis (0.8 x 4 m), palmette (1.2 x 4.0 m) and solaxe (1.0 x 4.0 m) were monitored. The highest canopy volume and the lower pruning weight were recorded in the tatura system. No significant differences were observed among systems concerning flower bloom and fruit setting. Production in 2010 was 54.0, 53.7, 54.9 e 38.2 tones.ha-1 for tatura, vertical axis, solaxe and palmette, respectively. The vertical axis was the system with the highest percentage (81.2%) of fruits with diameter > 70 mm and 60-70 mm. Considering cumulative yields and installation and production cost, from the plantation to the 4th year, the net return was -698 €.ha-1, -4501 €.ha-1, -6749 €.ha-1 and -476 €.ha-1 for the vertical axis, tatura, plamette and solaxe, respectively.
