Abstract: 【Objective】The aim of this study was to study the effects of different thinning methods on illumination, photosynthetic, growth and fruiting in airtight apple orchard, and then provide a theoretical basis for the renovation of the old orchard. 【Method】The ‘Red Fuji’ apple airtight orchard was used in this study, and three different thinning methods, were interlaced thinning (A), septum strain thinning (B), every four trees cutting one in the line (C) and the control (CK), and then the related indexes of illumination, photosynthetic, growth and fruiting were determined and analyzed. 【Result】The results showed that in different treatments, except CK, despite the different levels of growth of coverage rate of crown, the a performance was in the order of CK>C>B>A, and light transmittance and intracoronal light transmittance were A>B>C>CK. In the growing season, in different treatments, net photosynthetic rate (Pn), carboxylation efficiency (CE) and water use efficiency (WUE) were A>B>C>CK, while intercellular CO2 concentration (CI) was the the contrary; In terms of yield, three different treatments were significantly lower than the control per hectare in the first year, but the yield recovered the next year, and in the third year A and B were significantly higher than C and CK. The colouring index, soluble sugars, titration acid and the rate of high quality fruits of different thinning methods were higher than CK, shown in detail as A and B were significantly higher than C and CK.【Conclusion】The suitable thinning methods can fundamentally improve orchard illumination, leaves photosynthesis of leavs, fruit tree growth, yield and quality, although the yield can be decreased in a period.

Key words: apple, airtight orchard, thinning, illumination, photosynthetic, yield, quality
