Technical Abstract:
Previous research demonstrated that grass competition dwarfed and reduced the yield of individual peach trees [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] grown in narrow vegetation free areas (VFA). In this report, the area-based yield of two peach cultivars, 'Redskin' and 'Jersey Dawn' on 'Lovell', was estimated for two planting densities in two VFAs to compare potential economic returns from trees with different crop loads. The analysis indicated that even though grass competition reduced yield of individual peach trees, the concomitant reduction in tree size should enable greater tree density which may increase economic returns per hectare.
