The nutritional requirement of Peaches is higher compared to other stone fruits because it bears on one-year growth making the production of annual growth imperative for fruit production. Also, recoupment of the wood removal every year in pruning is necessary.
Fertilizers are applied every year. A multitude of factors, including soil type, fertility, climate, cultivar, planting density, shoot growth, and irrigation, affect nutritional requirement and fertilizer application in peach orchards. The FYM (farmyard manure) along with a full dose of P and K must be applied during December and January. Half dose of Nitrogen is applied in spring before flowering and the remaining half dose a month later.
