Italian term

allegazione

Italian to English Other Agriculture apple growing
From a report on apple growing:

Il clima umido e piovoso nel periodo della allegazione dei frutti e le grandinate in Olanda, Belgio e Italia hanno determinato una riduzione dei quantitativi di mele raccolti in questi paesi.

No other relevant context.
'Allegazione' obviously seems to be a stage in the apple growth cycle.
In Garzanti Linguistica the verb 'allegare' is defined as 'to take root'.

Is it the same as 'allegagione' (fruit 'setting')?
e.g. lo stadio iniziale della formazione del frutto, in cui l'ovario si evolve dopo la caduta dei resti del fiore

In which case, 'periodo della allegazione' could be translated as '(fruit) setting period'...

Any suggestions welcome.

TIA

the term has the same meaning in fruit cultivation as it has in ordinary domestic gardening.
