Abstract: Using fruit spacing method leave fruit on the pear cultivars of ‘Cuiguan’ and ‘Housui’, was studied effects of loading of different distance between fruit on output and quality. Results showed that: for the two selected cultivars, the single fruit weight, soluble solid content and total soluble sugar increased while the output per tree and stone cell content decreased along with the augment of distance between fruit. At the same time, there were no effects on fruit shape index, fruit core ratio and fruit firmness for the different distance between fruit. But fruits with highest titratable acid and ascorbic acid were located at 25 cm distance between fruit. It was concluded that the quality and output were optimal at the 25 cm distance between fruit for ‘Cuiguan’ and ‘Housui’.
