Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
Method of training for Kiwi fruit is T-bar system.
T-bar or pergola system is ideal for training. In this method, a spacing of 4 metre from row to row and 5 - 6 m from plant to plant should be maintained.
Pruning is an essential operation in kiwi cultivation because the fruits develop only on current season growth, arising from the buds developed in the previous year. Only basal 3 - 6 buds of the current season growth are productive.
