About
Dr. O Tabing is a distinguished horticultural scientist whose research focuses on sustainable orchard management, crop load regulation, and fruit quality optimization in perennial fruit crops. Their most cited work, "Artificial spur extinction to regulate crop load and fruit quality of ‘Kalei’ apple" (2016, 7 citations), presented at the prestigious XXIX International Horticultural Congress, introduced a precision technique to manually remove flower buds, enabling more uniform fruit size and improved quality without chemical thinning. This contribution addresses a critical challenge in apple production—balancing yield with marketable fruit characteristics—and has influenced best practices among growers and researchers. Dr. Tabing’s expertise extends to the physiology of fruit trees, where they have explored how targeted spur management interacts with tree vigor and resource allocation. Their work is particularly notable for its practical application in high-density orchard systems, offering an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional thinning methods. With a career dedicated to advancing horticultural science, Dr. Tabing continues to shape sustainable fruit production through innovative, field-tested solutions that benefit both growers and consumers.
