Peach tolerance

Prunus persica (L.) Batsch

Peach tolerance is a qualitative characteristic of the crop's resistance to specific biotic and abiotic stress factors, which determines the economic efficiency and yield stability of a variety.

In the reference 55 varieties crop Peach, where this is mentioned in the description.

When evaluating tolerance to diseases such as leaf curl, shot hole disease, and brown rot, visual scales for shoot and foliage damage are applied. Regarding abiotic factors, drought resistance is determined by leaf water-holding capacity, chlorophyll content, and transpiration rate.

Frost and winter hardiness of peaches are assessed by the degree of wood and flower bud damage following exposure to critical temperatures. Key indicators include the variety's 'chilling hour' requirement for breaking deep dormancy and the resistance of buds to low temperatures during the winter period.
