      abstract = {An experiment was conducted from Sep 1998 to Dec 1999 to  determine the effects of 8 combinations of fruit and  inflorescence pruning on fruit size and yield of dwarf  golden apple (Spondias cytherea Sonn) grown in Belvidere,  Grenada, W. I. Pruning treatments were 1: 0% fruit + 50%  inflorescence 2: 25% fruit + 50% inflorescence 3: 50% fruit  + 50% inflorescence 4: 75% fruit + 50% 5: 0% fruit + 0%  inflorescence 6: 25% fruit + 0% inflorescence 7: 50% fruit  + 0% inflorescence 8: 75% fruit + 0% inflorescence. Fruit  pruning increased fruit size. At 75% it was highly  significantly different (P=0.000) from the 25% and 0%  levels but was not significantly different from pruning at  50%. Inflorescence pruning reduced fruit size. The  interaction between fruit pruning and inflorescence pruning  tended to reduce fruit size. Fruit and inflorescence  pruning reduced fruit yield in terms of weight and number.  Fruit pruning at 0% and 25% had a highly significant  difference (P=0.000) from 75% on total number of fruits.  Pruning treatmeats of 0%, 25%, and 50% had a highly  significant difference (P=0.001) from 75% on total weight  of fruits.},
