Abstract

Information on the use of different training systems in peach under the sub-tropics is inadequate. Trees of Shan-i-Punjab peach were planted at two spacings, viz., 5 m x 2 m and 5 m x 3 m and were trained to four training systems, viz., Y shaped, Hedge row, Espalier and V trellis. The fruits harvested from Espalier and V trellis trained trees were superior in fruit quality in terms of fruit size, weight, colour and TSS as compared to fruit harvested from other training systems. Fruit yield was found to be maximum from V trellis trained trees. Trees planted at 5 m x 3 m gave higher fruit yield and better quality fruits as compared to 5 m x 2 m planted trees irrespective of training systems.
