BREEDING LOW-CHILL PEACHES IN SUBTROPICAL QUEENSLAND

Acta Horticulturae, 2012
The low-chill peach (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) breeding program at Maroochy Research Station, Nambour, Queensland was initiated in 1996 in response to industry requests for new peach and nectarine cultivars adapted to subtropical Australia. The program aims to develop a range of high quality peach and nectarine cultivars with both melting and non ...

Diagnostic leaf nutrient standards for low-chill peaches in subtropical Australia

Australian Journal of Experimental Agriculture, 1997
Summary. A leaf nutrient survey was conducted of the low-chill peach cultivars, Flordaprince (October maturing) and Flordagold (mid November–early December maturing) at 3 commercial sites in both northern New South Wales and southern Queensland. Recently mature leaves from the middle third of a current season’s fruiting lateral (spring flush) were ...

Water uptake dynamics for adult peach trees in a subtropical humid climate

Scientia Horticulturae, 2020
Abstract Low-chill peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] cultivars allow Florida growers to become competitive by offering fruits earlier than northern states for premium prices. Due to the predominance of sandy soils in Florida, irrigation is required to ensure fruit production in peaches.

Dormancy breaking of ‘Kampai’ peach trees with alternative products in subtropical regions

The Journal of Agricultural Science, 2021
AbstractPeach trees initiate flowering and then dense budding when the temperatures in winter are steadily low. When temperatures during the winter are high or when the chilling accumulation needs of the cultivar are not met, it is necessary to apply chemicals that stimulate flowering and budding in a uniform manner.

Improved peach rootstocks and nursery management practices for subtropical climates

Scientia Horticulturae, 2003
Abstract The main goal of this work was to screen and evaluate new rootstock seed sources and generate information related to seedling management to increase the efficiency of the plant propagation systems in the subtropics of central Mexico. Results provide information that could increase seedling quality and improve the efficiency of the current ...

Determining water requirements for young peach trees in a humid subtropical climate

Agricultural Water Management, 2020
Abstract In the southern USA, low soil water holding capacity and erratic rainfall patterns create scenarios where plant water stress may occur, reducing early peach tree growth. Therefore, irrigation management is a key component to ensure adequate water supply during early tree growth stages.

TESTING LOW CHILL PEACHES AND NECTARINES IN SUBTROPICAL AND TEMPERATE QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA

Acta Horticulturae, 2015
Subtropical or low-chill stonefruit species are bred at the Maroochy Research Facility in Nambour, Queensland. Superior clones are evaluated in different climatic regions throughout southern Queensland and northern New South Wales by cooperating growers.
