Peach 🍑 Farming आडू की खेती में लाभ ही लाभ जाने कैसे?

Peaches are highly valued as a table fruit for their attractive colour and palatability. Peaches can be processed as canned and dried products, frozen preserves, jam, nectar, juice, beverage and marmalade. Peaches are also good source of low calorific diet. Climate and Soil Sub-tropical climate of Punjab is ideally suited for the cultivation of low chilling peaches during winter months as it is enough to break the dormancy of low chilling cultivars. After fruit setting from March to June, the climate is warm to hot (35o - 42oC). This is favourable for the development and maturity of fruits provided adequate water supply is available. Loamy sand or sandy loam, well drained, fertile soil with lime content less than 10% is suitable for peach cultivation. Heavy wet soils are unfit for peach growing. Soil with an electrical conductivity below 0.5 m mhos/cm, calcium carbonate less than 5%, lime less than 10%, absence of hard pan upto a depth of 120 cm and pH between 6-8 is good for peach. Recommended Cultivars A.Yellow Fleshed Earli Grande (1997) : Tree is semi-vigorous, high yielding and fruit mature in the first week of May (4 days earlier than Shan-i-Punjab). Fruit is large (90 g) and firm fleshed, free stone at full ripe stage and of good keeping quality. Its TSS is 10.5% and acidity is 0.7%. Florda Prince (1997) : Tree is vigorous and the fruits mature in the fourth week of April. Fruit size medium (65-70 g); yellow with red blush at maturity, flesh firm and free stone at full ripe 78 stage. Average yield 100 kg per tree; TSS 12% and acidity 0.5%. Shan-i-Punjab (1979): Tree is vigorous and the fruits mature in the first week of May. Fruit is large, turns yellow with red blush at maturity. Average yield 70 kg per tree, flesh firm and free stone at full ripe stage. It is good for canning. Its TSS is 12% and acidity is 0.74%. B. White Flesh 1. Prabhat (2003) : Tree is semi-vigorous and the fruit matures in the 3rd week of April. Fruits are medium round with an attractive red blush, flesh white, juicy, sweet and free stone when fully ripe. Average yield is 64 kg per tree. Its TSS 12% and acidity 0.37%. 2. Sharbati (1967): Tree is very vigorous and the fruit matures in the end of June to first week of July. Fruit medium in size (70 g), clingstone and turns greenish yellow at maturity with pink patches. Yield per tree is 100-120 kg, TSS 13% and acidity 0.33%. C. Nectarine Punjab Nectarine (2008): Tree is vigorous and spreading, fruits mature in second week of May. Fruit large, fuzzless, weighing 90 g, round, attractive with 90-100% red blush over yellow ground colour at maturity, flesh yellow, firm, melting and free stone at full ripe stage. Average yield is about 40 kg/plant, TSS 11.5% and acidity 0.8%. High Density Planting Peach trees should be planted at spacing of 6 m×1.5 m with ‘Y’ system of training. This practice ensures higher yield and better fruit quality than the traditional planting system. Training and Pruning To control tree size and ensure new growth annually for fruit bearing, training and pruning are important canopy management practices.
