J. Clark
Southwest Research and Extension Center
Testing is ongoing of advanced white and yellow fleshed peach and nectarine selections. Adaptation to southwest Arkansas is the testing priority, to determine adapatation to the climate and pests in that region. Fruit yields, fruit size and fruit quality are evaluated in addition to measurement of bloom date and pest resistances. Peach selection testing focuses on white peaches, while nectarine trials including mostly yellow-fleshed types. Findings from trials at SWREC are utilized in cultivar release decisions in the breeding program.
