Soil Management. Good orchard practices are necessary regardless of soil types, the particular fruit section, or the kind of fruit grown.
These consist of the maintenance of an adequate supply of organic matter, the presence of nitrogen in sufficient quantities , and the control of run-off water to check erosion and conserve the moisture supply.
The organic matter of the soil acts as a storehouse for moisture and nitrogenous compounds. With its gradual depletion, the nitrogen disappears and growth is reduced. Constant tillage tends to reduce or “burn out” the humus supply. The cultural practices, therefore, that make nitrogen most rapidly available, at the same time most rapidly deplete the total supply. To maintain the soil organic matter manures or cover crops must be worked into the soil from time to time.
Young cherry and plum trees when cultivated may grow twice as fast as similar trees in sod without cultivation. Moreover, the yield of bearing trees, under cultivation, is often double that of comparable trees growing in sod with no cultivation or fertilization.
