2 UMMAR everal peach varieties performed satisfactorily in tests at the Wiregrass ubstation, Headland. Those best adapted for commercial production in that area were pringcrest, pringold, Maygold, entinel, LaGold, Keystone, Winblo, and Redskin. None of the nectarine varieties evaluated was suitable for commercial production. Lexington, Pocahontas, and Caliver are nectarine varieties with some potential for home use.

3 Performance of Peach and Nectarine Varieties in the Wiregrass Area of Alabama W. A. DOZIER, JR., J. G. TARLING, H. W. IVE, and O. N. FARRIOR* PEACHE AND NECTARINE are potentially valuable crops for the Wiregrass Area of Alabama. This region has the natural advantage of being free of spring frost in most years, a time when most peach producing areas are subject to frost damage during or just after bloom. The potential for production of peaches for both fresh market and processing is unlimited in this area of the tate if the proper varieties are grown. Varieties should be chosen on the basis of their intended use and performance in this area. DECRIPTION OF PROJECT A variety evaluation planting was established at the Wiregrass ubstation, Headland, in the spring of to identify varieties suited to the area. The planting included varieties of peaches and varieties of nectarines. The peach varieties were planted in six groups and the nectarines in two groups according to ripening dates. Three trees of each variety were planted in a randomized complete block design in each ripening group. All varieties planted were on Lovell rootstock. Tree spacing was by feet. Prior to planting lime, phosphorous, and potassium were broadcast and incorporated into the soil according to soil test recommendation. The nutritional program in subsequent years also followed soil test recommendations, with adjustments made in nitrogen application based on vegetative growth. For nematode control, Dasanit was broadcast and double disked into the top inches of soil prior to planting at *Respectively, Associate Professor, Department of Horticulture, and uperintendent, Associate uperintendent, and Research Associate, Wiregrass ubstation.
4 the rate of. pounds of percent granules per acre. Recommended practices were followed for insect and disease control. Paraquat and simazine were used for weed control in the rows, and middles were mowed.fruit on all varieties were hand thinned in,, and. Dates of full bloom and first harvest were recorded for each variety. The rating systems used in all tables are as follows: skin color, fruit firmness, and stone freeness- = poor, = excellent; for flesh color -y = yellow, w = white; for dessert quality-i, = acid,,4 = sub-acid,, = astringent. Fruit size was obtained by measuring representative fruit of each variety at each harvest date. ield data presented are the average for three trees of each variety. Ratings of damage from bacterial leaf spot were estimated, using the following rating system: Rating, number-class Leaves with Defoliation, bacterial spot, pct. pct. none none none trace none slight moderate severe very severe Incidence of bacterial fruit spot was rated as none, light, moderate, or severe. REULT The orchard was set in March, and all trees grew vigorously the first season. In the spring of 4 and, some varieties did not leaf out and bloom until May and June due to insufficient chilling during the dormant season, table. In each season, once bud break occurred, all varieties grew vigorously. A few scattered fruit were produced in 4, but yield was not sufficient for yield data to be recorded. All varieties bloomed heavily in the spring of ; however, fruit set and production varied from no crop to only a light crop, table. Good crops were produced in,, and, tables, 4, and, and all varieties required thinning.

Coronet and entinel, harvested on May, were the first varieties that exhibited bacterial fruit spot damage. In, pringold, pringcrest, and pringbrite, which were some of the first varieties to be harvested, had a light incidence of bacterial fruit spot. Fruit was generally harvested later than the early stage of ripeness suitable for commercial shipment. Therefore, fruit firmness data are lower than ly expected for most varieties. Varieties That Performed Best The following peach varieties performed best for commercial production in Wiregrass ubstation tests. The average performance of each is presented in table. pringcrest, (Fireglow x Hiley) x Fireglow x pring Time, was tested as F. V. - and introduced in by the UDA Horticultural Field tation, Fort Valley, Georgia. pringcrest ripens about days before Elberta.

The flesh is yellow, firm but melting, medium in texture, and good in flavor for an early peach. Trees of pringold are selffertile, vigorous, productive, and moderately resistant to bacterial leaf spot. Chilling requirement is about hours below 4 F. []
10 Maygold, unhigh x outhland, was tested as F. V. - and was introduced by the UDA Field tation, Fort Valley, Georgia, in. Maygold ripens about days before Elberta.

13 firm, melting, and yellow with red at pit. Although trees of the variety are vigorous, productivity varies from low to high. Keystone is a good canning and freezing variety, having flesh that is highly resistant to browning. It is less susceptible to bacterial leaf spot than Elberta. Chilling requirement of Keystone is hours below 4 F. Winblo, Redhaven x Dixiered, was introduced by the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment tation, Raleigh, North Carolina. Winblo ripens about 4 days before Elberta. The fruit is round, medium to large, and freestone. The flesh is yellow, fine flavored, high quality, moderately firm, and nonbrowning. Winblo has a yellow undercolor and a bright red blush over percent of the fruit surface. The trees are vigorous, productive, and tolerant to bacterial leaf spot. Its chilling requirement is - hours below 4 F. Redskin, J. H. Hale x Elberta, was introduced in 44 by the Maryland Agricultural Experiment tation. Ripening date is - days before Elberta. The fruit is round with a prominent suture and light pubescence, attractive, yellow fleshed, of good color and quality, freestone, firm, and of large size when properly thinned. In some years a rough suture will develop. The trees are self-fertile, vigorous, and productive. Blossoms tend to set fruit each year. Redskin is moderately resistant to bacterial leaf spot. It has a chilling requirement of about hours below 4 F. Nectarine Variety Performance None of the nectarine varieties evaluated was suitable for commercial production, table. Cherokee, Nectared-4, and Nectared- were defoliated by bacterial leaf spot. Their fruit were severely damaged by bacterial fruit spot and also split badly. Lexington, Pocahontas, and Caliver would probably be satisfactory for home use. The fruit of these three nectarine varieties were small. Lexington was the highest producing nectarine variety. It set large crops and required heavy thinning. In addition to being small, fruit of Lexington are soft and white fleshed. Pocahontas and Caliver are both yellow fleshed varieties and productive. Average performance of the three best nectarines is given in table. ince this evaluation planting was established, additional varieties having potential for this area have been released. The newer varieties will be evaluated at the Wiregrass ubstation. []
