Re: [apple-crop] Calcium chloride on Peaches

2013-06-16 Thread George Greene
Hi All:

I don't know any good reason to spray calcium on peaches.

Is there a benefit you want to get? 

Having said that I do remember some research from India where the post harvest 
handling of peaches is mostly without refrigeration.  As I recall they got a 
small benefit from the application of calcium.  I doubt if there would be much 
benefit if you use refrigeration to retain postharvest life.

Be well, George
