Dennis Rouse, Director Auburn, Alabama FIRST PRINTING 4M, NOVEMBER 1973 Performance of PEACH VARIETIES and SELECTIONS in Central Alabama W. A. DOZIER, JR., C. C. CARLTON, and K. C. SHORT* PACHES, the most important commercial deciduous fruit crop in the South, can be grown in all sections of Alabama. Central Alabama is the major production area, however, and most commercial peach production is centered there. That area's acreage has stabilized at about 4,000 acres, with its annual crop having an estimated farm value of $3 million. As is true with other fruit crops, peach production and its accompanying industries depend on the availability of suitable varieties. Varietal requirements change as production and marketing conditions change, however, so a constant supply of new varieties is needed. Many new varieties have become available in recent years on release by U.S. Department of Agriculture, state agricultural experiment stations, and individuals. Testing of these new varieties and selections is necessary to determine their adaptability to Alabama conditions, even when they have performed well in other states and regions. Variety evaluations for central Alabama conditions were made during 1963-71 at the Chilton Area Horticulture Substation, located in the State's peach growing central region near Clanton. As new varieties and selections were released, three trees of each were planted at a spacing of 20 x 20 feet and trained to an open center. The orchards were clean cultivated until spring 1966 when a chemical weed control program was initiated. Vegetation was controlled by using a mixture of paraquat and simazine * Assistant Professor, Department of Horticulture, and Superintendent and Assistant Superintendent, Chilton Area Horticulture Substation. or paraquat and sinbar in the row and by mowing between rows. Soil pH and fertility levels were maintained according to soil test recommendations. Each variety and selection was evaluated for tree vigor, disease resistance, winter hardiness (blossom buds), tolerance to frost during blossoming season, fruit yield, fruit characteristics, and date of full bloom and ripening. VARIETIES THAT PERFORMED BEST The following peach varieties performed best for commercial production in tests at the Chilton Area Horticulture Substation. The average performance of each is presented in Table 1. Springold, F.V. 89-14 X Fireglow X Springtime, was tested as F.V. 9-149 and introduced in 1966 by the USDA Horticultural Field Station, Fort Valley, Georgia. Springold ripens about 8 weeks before Elberta. The fruit is ovate with a prominent suture and slight tip, small, clingstone, and has medium pubescence. About 80 per cent of fruit surface is covered with a bright, attractive, red blush over a yellow ground color. The flesh is yellow, firm but melting, medium in texture, and good in flavor for an early peach. Trees of Springold are self-fertile, vigorous, productive, and moderately resistant to bacterial leaf spot. It has a chilling requirement of about 850 hours below 450 F. Springbrite, F.V. 131-48 (Sunhigh X Southland) X Springtime, was formerly tested as F.V. 9-266. It was introduced in 1972 by the USDA Horticultural Field Station, Fort Valley, Georgia. This variety ripens about 8 weeks before Elberta, producing fruit that is small to medium, round with a slight tip, and semi-freestone when fully ripe. The pubescence is fine and short. Its exterior red color is outstanding, having a bright red blush over 70 per cent of the surface; the undercolor is an attractive yellow. The flesh is yellow, firm but melting, medium in texture, and good in flavor. Trees of Springbrite are moderately vigorous, moderately productive, and self-fertile. Springbrite is moderately susceptible to bacterial leaf spot. Its chilling requirement is about 650 hours. Earlired, Redhaven X B 3-674 [Halehaven X B3-292 (Halehaven X Orile)], was formerly tested as 9-134 and introduced in 1960 by the USDA Plant Industry Station, Beltsville, Maryland.

Performance of Varieties and Selections Tested, 1963-1971 Performance of a peach variety is influenced by climatic conditions and, therefore, varies between years. Yearly climatic conditions and performance of varieties and selections tested during 1963-71 are presented in the following section so that performance can be evaluated according to prevailing conditions. Yearly performance data are given in tables 2-12. The rating system used in all tables is as follows: For set, pubescence, skin color, attractiveness, firmness, stone freeness, texture, and yield - 0 = poor, 10 = excellent. For flesh color Y = yellow, W = white. For shape 1 2 round 3 4 ovate 5 6 tip For dessert quality 1 2 acid 3 4 sub-acid 5 6 astringent 7 8 7 8 9 10 suture 9 10 F. reached 1,408 by 1963. Accumulated hours below 45' February 15. A low of 0° on January 24 accounted for extensive dormant bud kill. Additional bud kill may have occurred from the 11 ° and 15° lows of February 22 and 27, respectively. The approximately 10 inches of rainfall in the last half of June, during harvest, made disease control difficult. [10] 1964. Accumulated hours below 450 F: totaled 1,419 by February 15. Low temperatures that may have affected bud survival occurred on December 16 and 19 (11° and 14° , respectively), 14° on January 15, and 26 ° after bloom on March 30. One-third of the fruit was damaged by hail on April 28. Only 0.69 inch of rain fell during May. On June 21, hail again damaged 95 per cent of the fruit as well as cracking the bark on the trees. 1965. Accumulated hours below 45 ° F. amounted to 1,156 by February 15. Low temperatures of 110 caused some bud damage on January 17 and 31. Blooms that were open suffered some damage from lows of 25 ° , 22 ° , and 28 ° , respectively, on March 20, 21, and 22. These temperatures also killed some flower buds on susceptible varieties that were in the bud swell stage. April and May were dry months, having 1.56 and 0.51 inches of rainfall, respectively. In contrast, June and July had 9.24 and 6.99 inches of rain, respectively. 1966. The warm winter of 1965-66 had barely enough chilling for some varieties. Accumulated hours below 450 F. were 453 on January 1, 605 by January 15, 985 on February 1, and reached 1,109 by February 15. On January 30 the temperature dropped to 00, killing many fruit buds in the dormant stage. A low of 11° was recorded the following day. On March 25 a frost and a low of 27 ° occurred while peaches were in bloom. This further thinned fruit of varieties that were damaged by the January 30 freeze. amounted to 1,247. Low temperatures of 18° on December 25, 17° on February 8, 14° on February 25, and 16° on February 26 resulted in some dormant bud damage, Table 6. A low of 27 ° occurred during bloom, resulting in severe damage to many varieties. May, June, and July were wet, with 4.61, 6.46, and 5.03 inches of rainfall, respectively. 1968. The accumulated hours below 45 ° F. amounted to 1,411 1967. By February 15, accumulated hours below 45 ° F. on February 15. Dormant bud damage resulted from low temperatures of 180 on February 12 and 13, 27 ° on March 5, and 26 ° on March 14, Table 8. Damage to open blooms on most varieties resulted from lows of 28 ° and 24 ° on March 23 and 24, respectively. June and July were dry months with 1.23 and 1.72 inches of rainfall, respectively. [11 ] 1969. By February 15 the accumulated hours below 45 ° F. amounted to 1,258. There was no dormant bud damage or blossom damage from low temperatures. Rainfall was adequate during the ripening season. 1970. Accumulated hours below 45 ° F. amounted to 1,538 by February 15. Low temperatures of 12 ° , 10 ° , 5 ° , and 11 caused some dormant bud damage on January 7, 8, 9, and 10, respectively. Additional dormant bud damage resulted on February 3 and 4 from low temperatures of 18 ° and 11 ° , respectively. Temperatures of 26 °, 28 ° , and 27 ° on March 14, 15, and 16, respectively, caused some damage to blooms and buds in the swell stage. May was a dry month, having 1.80 inches of rainfall. July was wet, with 7.81 inches of rainfall. 1971. By February 15, the accumulated hours below 45 ° F. totaled 1,175. Dormant bud damage resulted from a low of 8 ° on January 16. Varieties were in full bloom during the period from March 12 until April 4, so the low temperature of 29 ° on March 21 injured many varieties. May and June were dry months, having 2.82 and 2.17 inches of rainfall, respectively. In contrast, July had 9.57 inches.
