POMOLOGICAL PARAGRAPH 



R. G. Hill, Jr., Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station reports in Research 

 Bulletin 903 titled "The Effect of Sod as a Soil Management Practice Upon the 

 Growth and Yield of the Peach" that peach trees may be expected to produce growth 

 and yields comparable to those under cultivation if ample quantities of moisture 

 and nutrients are available. Under the conditions of this study the nitrogen 

 level of the peach trees grown in the bluegrass sod was maintained at approximately 

 that of the trees grown under cultivation by doubling the rate of nitrogen applied. 



It is of Interest to note that Dr. W. D. Weeks of our pomology staff has 

 suggested that peach trees in sod should receive about twice the normal rate of 

 nitrogen.
