Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Larger vegetation-free areas increased peach trunk area, canopy diameter, and pruning weight.
- Intervention effect Larger vegetation-free areas increased total peach yield per tree.
- Intervention effect Larger vegetation-free areas increased large-fruit yield per tree.
- Intervention effect Larger vegetation-free areas increased peach pruning weight.
- Intervention effect Total and large-fruit yield efficiency rose initially with area size, then plateaued.
- Intervention effect Supplemental irrigation increased peach leaf nitrogen percentage.
- Intervention effect Neither vegetation-free area size nor irrigation affected cold hardiness.
- Intervention effect Small vegetation-free areas produced smaller peach trees with equal efficiency.
- Recommendation Sod management was judged effective and low cost for limiting peach tree size.
- Recommendation Combining sod management with irrigated high-density production could increase productivity.
