Abstract

Based on previously developed innovative techniques, in 1996 a project was begun with the aim of improving the quality of peach scions. The study examined the possibility of the propagation of stock for grafting using herbaceous material and carried out studies on new grafting stock. In the present project, the objective is to plant high productivity orchards with the production of early fruit of high quality, bringing together all currently available knowledge to test new technologies in the field. Thus, experiments will be carried out on high density planting and on grafting stock obtained from herbaceous cuttings of umezeiro (Prunus mume) clones and from the cv. Okinawa peach tree. New dual-purpose cultivar crowns will be tested as options for industrialization. Research was programmed into post-harvest procedures to determine the most suitable packaging materials and ideal pick-up points for commercialization in markets close to and far from the production zone. Based on the results obtained it will be possible to establish the region of Jaboticabal (SP) as an important producing center for early peaches. (AU)
