Résumé
[EN] Summer pruning reduces vegetative growth in apple trees, but it could have an impact
on fruit quality. This study analyzed the effects of summer pruning as an eco-friendly pre-harvest
alternative to chemical growth regulation inputs on instrumental and sensory quality of highly
vigorous apple cv. ‘Reinette du Canada’, which has been awarded with a Protected Designation of
Origin label in two environments. The results showed that summer pruning affected the mineral
content of the fruit. Summer pruning reduced bitter pit, but it did not negatively affect fruit weight
nor any other instrumental characteristic during storage. Moreover, sensory quality or degree of
liking were not affected by summer pruning. Thus, summer pruning could be an eco-friendly
pre-harvest alternative to chemical treatments to improve quality in global terms of ‘Reinette du
Canada’ apple cultivar, regardless of the location. This technique contributed to the decrease of bitter
pit incidence, but did not decrease sensory quality nor degree of liking
