Book Description
Excerpt from Tree-Conditioning the Peach Crop: A Study of the Effect of Thinning and Other Practices on Size and Quality of Fruit During the first three years the experiments dealt largely with the time and severity of thinning. While these experiments were under way, it became evident that the success Of thinning was influenced by other cultural practices, such as the type and severity Of pruning, fertilizer applications, soil cultural practices, and weather. The work was then expanded to include the variables that could be Controlled. Later, tests were made to determine the advantages Of delaying harvest in order to secure full benefit Of the final swell Of the fruit and the improvement in its quality. TO give the study additional value, tests were made to find out the relative carrying quality Of peaches picked at different degrees of maturity.
