This book explores the fertilization practices for peach orchards and presents the findings of extensive field tests conducted by the West Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station. In a time when many held the misconception that excessive nitrogen application would harm peach trees, the author challenges this notion, presenting evidence of nitrogen's benefits as he details the results of tailored fertilizer applications. The study also investigates the effects of phosphoric acid and potash on tree growth, foliage, and fruit production, providing valuable insights into the specific nutritional needs of peach trees. The findings provide practical guidance for peach growers, highlighting the importance of nitrogen and the questionable benefits of acid phosphate and potash in the context of West Virginia's shale soil. This book contributes to our understanding of peach tree nutrition, offering a solid foundation for informed fertilization practices that can enhance peach production.
