| Abstract/Contents: | "Three cultivars ('Garnet Beauty, 'Harbrite', 'Canadian Harmony'), two ground covers (temporary cover vs. permanent sod), and no irrigation vs. season-long trickle irrigation were studied in a high-density (633 trees/ha) peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] orchard established on Fox sand in 1980. From 1985 to 1989, soil water content in top 130 cm was similar in nonirrigated plots that had permanent sod strips in the row middles and and fell below the permanent wilting point for [> or =]1 months in summer but not at depths below 130 cm. Trunk cross-sectional area (TCA) was greater for 'Canadian Harmony' and 'Harbrite' than 'Garnet Beauty', ground-cover treatments had no effect, and irrigated trees were generally larger than those not irrigated. Photosynthetic rate and stomatal conductance differed by cultivar, were unaffected by ground cover, and were enhanced by irrigation. Tree survival was significantly affected by cultivar, being best with 'Harbrite' and 'Canadian Harmony' and poorest with 'Garnet Beauty'. Permanent sod enhanced tree survival while trickle irrigation reduced it. Cumulative marketable yields were affected more by cultivar than by ground cover or irrigation. 'Canadian Harmony' had the highest yield, followed by 'Harbrite', the 'Garnet Beauty'. Yields in sod were slightly higher than in temporary cover and yields with trickle irrigation were slightly higher than without irrigation. The best soil-management system when TCA, marketable yield, and tree survival were considered was a combination of permanent creeping red fescue sod strips in the row middles and trickle irrigation in the tree row. This system is being recommeded to commercial growers in southwestern Ontario." |
