intensive goji plantations

Adrian Asanica, Valerica Tudor, Alexandru Iacob, Andrei Tudor, Livia Perojuc, Violeta Zolotoi

The innovation focuses on shaping flattened crowns for goji (Lycium barbarum L. and/or Lycium chinense Mill.)

into multi-leader system which allow more plants/unit area and the achievement of a higher quality and yield

through a good light exposure. The increase of plant efficiency is accompanied by all technological interventions

in the orchard (soil maintenance, pruning, fertilization, irrigation, treatments and harvest). The fruits are large,

well-coloured, uniform in size and with high dry matter content.
