This study investigated the effects of different canopy training systems on the fruit quality characteristics of the peach cultivar Muyassar under the agro-climatic conditions of the Fergana Region. Fruit quality was evaluated by analyzing average fruit weight, external appearance, taste, sugar content, and overall quality score in trees trained using vase-shaped, bush-shaped, sparse-tiered, and four-leader Spanish Bush systems. The results revealed significant differences among the training methods. Trees trained under the sparse-tiered and four-leader Spanish Bush systems produced fruits with superior marketability and consumer quality attributes compared with the other treatments. These findings indicate that appropriate canopy management can play an important role in enhancing peach fruit quality and commercial value in intensive orchard production systems.
