Science - Agriculture / orchard crops, peaches and nectarines
French term or phrase: variété en 8ème feuille
In a text about nectarine yields. Here's the context:
La récolte de la variété xxx se fait en trois gros passages du xx au xx août. Le rendement total de la parcelle est de xx T/ha, pour des calibres dominants A-AA. Ces résultats agronomiques sont très satisfaisants pour cette variété en 8ème feuille.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Note that "in its eighth leaf" (See Elizabeth's answer) isn't just poetic; it's also a correct term that would be used by fruit growers and arboriculturalists.

Thanks, BD. For a tree, this certainly makes sense. And thanks also Elizabeth for explaining that it's a poetic way of expressing it.

variety on the eighth page


Explanation:
I think this refers to another document where this variety is listed on the 8th sheet of the document, the confusion being with the word "feuille" used here as a "sheet" of paper rather than a "leaf." Just a suggestion.

variety at the 8th leaf (stage)


Explanation:

Trunk circumference, winter and summer pruning weight, total number and weight of fruits per tree, and major fruit quality traits were recorded starting at the 3rd leaf. After fruit harvest in the 5th leaf, irrigation was withheld during the dry summer period (July–September). All IS selections reduced trunk cross-sectional area (TCSA) and pruning weight compared to GF677, with IS5/23 reducing TCSA by 62% and Castore, Polluce and IS5/29 by 32% by the 8th leaf.

(TCSA) and pruning weight compared to GF677, with IS5/23 reducing TCSA by 62% and Castore,
Polluce and IS5/29 by 32% by the 8th leaf. Yield efficiency was inversely related to tree vigor, with

In traveling around the region, I have noticed a higher than normal mortality of peach trees, particularly middle-aged trees, roughly in the 5th through 8th leaf. It appears to be a combination of two back-to-back wet years and winter injury (wet frozen soil). At this time, weakened trees are very noticeable compared to healthy trees because of the light green leaves and reduced leaf area.

agree  B D Finch: That's another way of expressing it, but wrong preposition: "in its eighth leaf" www.bizcommunity.com/Article/196/358/160949.html . Your second two refs don't seem to be relevant./ "At" for pruning, "in" for season.

agree  Charles Davis: Yes, I think it means in its eighth growing season or year of planting.

  -> Thanks Charles. I wouldn't use "year of planting" as that could cause confusion about how old the trees really are.
