1、Fertilization of peach for yield and quality, and optimization of

This study assessed the fertilization effects on peach yield and quality of peach in China based on a meta-analysis of a dataset comprising 1419 data pairs from 89 field experiments and responses to 12,600 questionnaires administered in the main peach production regions.

2、Effects of Foliar Fertilization: a Review of Current Status and Future

Foliar fertilizer application after soil fertilization is an effective method to increase the contents of trace elements in crops and crop yield, and to improve the soil environment. However, the application of inorganic foliar fertilizer results in difficulties in nutrient absorption and migration in plants.

This paper provides the first meta-analysis of fertilization of peach for yield and quality in China, based on 1,419 data pairs from 71 published reports.

Peach Tree Fertilizer & Fertilization of peach trees – Haifa Group

It is possible to plant a peach in shallow soil since the root system is shallow too. The peach is drought resistant and can grow even without irrigation, however, in order to obtain an economical crop with good quality fruit, it is customary to irrigate with a quantity of 500-700 mm of water.

Foliar nutrition: Potential and challenges under multifaceted

Foliar fertilization has been well recognized for two decades to affect crop productivity, however, the consequences of foliar spray under multiple environmental stresses remains elusive, albeit evidence to resilience agriculture has grown widely.

The effects of foliar fertilization with iron sulfate in chlorotic

Foliar Fe fertilization was effective in re-greening treated leaf areas both in peach trees and sugar beet plants.

When is the Appropriate Time for Foliar Fertilization of Peach Trees

post-bloom foliar fertilization is a scientifically grounded practice to boost peach quality and productivity. By adhering to optimal timing, proper techniques, and integrated care, growers can maximize the benefits of this essential agricultural intervention.

NITROGEN AND POTASSIUM FERTILIZATION INFLUENCES ON INTENSITY OF PEACH

Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of nitrogen and potassium fertilization on severity and incidence of peach rust on ‘Chimarrita’ peach trees.

Effects of inherent soil fertility on peach orchard yield and quality

Peach trees are very sensitive to nitrogen. The application of nitrogen fertilizer within a certain range has a positive effect on the growth of peach tree roots and the enhancement of photosynthesis, which can promote vigorous growth of peach trees, thereby increase yield and improve fruit quality [2].

Nitrogen Fertilization of Peach Trees

This is because peach fruits are higher in nutrient content than apple fruits and because in the fall peach trees translocate fewer nutrients out of the leaves to the tree than apple.

Reasons and Preventive Measures for Russet Scars Caused by Foliar Fertilization in Peach Trees

Peach trees, as one of the most important economic fruit crops, not only offer high edible value but also possess significant medicinal benefits. in agricultural production, foliar spraying of nutrient solutions is commonly used to supplement nutrients and improve both yield and fruit quality. While foliar fertilization is a popular practice, it may lead to russet scars (fruit blemishes). Understanding the causes and preventive measures for this issue is critical. This article elaborates on the following aspects:

I. Reasons Why Foliar Fertilization May Cause Russet Scars

1. Inappropriate Fertilizer Ingredients: Some foliar fertilizers contain high concentrations of nitrogen. While nitrogen promotes fruit growth, excessive nitrogen can stimulate overgrowth of peach tree leaves, negatively impacting fruit quality and yield. Additionally, high nitrogen levels may cause spots or yellowish patches on the fruit surface, known as "russet scars."

2. Overapplication of Fertilizer: Excessive foliar fertilization can lead to russet scars. Overloading the trees with fertilizer stimulates rapid leaf growth, causing irregular bumps or depressions on the fruit surface, resembling rust-like blemishes.

3. Interaction Between Fertilizer and Pests/Diseases: Certain chemical components in foliar fertilizers may interact with pests or diseases on peach trees, exacerbating russet scars. For example, fungicides in some fertilizers might inhibit diseases but simultaneously damage the fruit surface, triggering blemishes.

4. Environmental Factors: Environmental conditions (e.g., temperature, humidity) influence how foliar fertilizers are absorbed and metabolized. Unsuitable conditions may disrupt this process, leading to russet scars.

II. Preventive Measures for Russet Scars Caused by Foliar Fertilization

1. Select Appropriate Fertilizers: Choose foliar fertilizers tailored to peach tree needs, with balanced nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) ratios. Avoid fertilizers with excessive nitrogen to prevent leaf overgrowth.

2. Control Application Rates: Follow recommended dosages and frequencies for foliar spraying. Adjust timing and frequency to avoid overapplication, reducing the risk of russet scars.

3. Minimize Interactions With Pests/Diseases: Monitor tree health and pest/disease occurrence. If issues arise, treat them promptly to avoid compounding effects with foliar fertilizers.

4. Optimize Environmental Conditions: Conduct foliar spraying under suitable conditions (e.g., avoiding high temperatures or humidity). This ensures proper absorption and metabolism of nutrients.

5. Enhance Management Practices: For trees already exhibiting russet scars, prune affected branches, thin flowers/fruits to reduce surface damage, and strengthen soil/water management to boost disease/pest resistance.

Russet scars caused by foliar fertilization result from multiple factors, including improper fertilizer ingredients, overapplication, interactions with pests/diseases, and environmental conditions. To prevent this, select suitable fertilizers, control application rates, avoid adverse interactions, optimize environmental conditions, and improve overall tree management. Implementing these measures effectively reduces russet scars, enhancing both yield and fruit quality.
