Fig Culture Techniques
2003
Sousa, R.M Maia de
The fig-tree is a typical Mediterranean tree producing figs for human and animal consumption and for alcohol industry. Due to high prices of workmanship and strong competitivity of dried figs industry, this system of production is not rentable. In this system, to control infesting plants and to prepare soil for the harvest of fruits that were, most of the time, picked from soil, agricultural machinery passed bellow the trees. Fig tree, harvested in the proper way, can be used for fresh fruit production. This requires a more specialised production. Cultivars used are different from traditional ones, distance between lines is narrower and agricultural machinery passes in a circular way around the trees. Conduction system places each tree between 0,5 m and 2,20 m above soil and figs can be picked directly to the commercial basket. In this work we present the more adapted cultivars to this system and we point out the ways to make them more productive with the lower cost for production of kg of fresh fruit.
