The present study was carried out at experimental farm of ICAR-CITH, Srinagar to investigate influence
of two different planting densities (2.5 m × 2.5 m and 3.0 m × 3.0 m) on tree growth, fruit quality and
yield attributes of four peach/nectarine (Fantasia, Crest Heaven, Red Globe & Gloheaven) during five
year period (2009-2013). The results of current study clearly indicated that maximum trunk crosssectional
area (TCSA) of tree (51.96 cm2
), higher number of flowers (428.32), fruit number per plant
(257.66), fruit length (54.77 mm), fruit weight (82.88 g), fruit pulp thickness (22.66 mm), fruit shape
index (1.02), yield (21.84 kg/tree, 35.12 t/ha) and yield efficiency (21.73 kgcm-2
), TSS (15.34 oB) and
TSS/acidity (50.92) were recorded at wider spacing 3 m × 3 m. Whereas, titratable acidity (0.320%) and
ascorbic acid content (6.65 mg/100g) was maximum in closer plant spacing (2.5 m × 2.5 m). Among
variety, maximum trunk cross-sectional area, yield and yield efficiency was recorded in Gloheaven,
maximum number of flowers, fruits, TSS/acidity and lowest acidity in Red Globe, maximum fruit length
and diameter in Fantasia, maximum fruit pulp thickness, fruit weight, TSS and ascorbic acid was
recorded in Crest Heaven. The spacing and varietal interaction was also found significant for no. of
flower, fruit per plant, fruit length, diameter, weight, yield, yield efficiency, TSS, acidity and ascorbic
acid.
