Amino Acid Spray Saves Peach Orchards from Freeze
from Aspen News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Horticulturist David Sterle at Colorado State Universitys research center has developed a new weapon for peach growers in western Colorado: a spray packed with amino acids that help peach buds withstand cold stress during freezes. This breakthrough could save the industry millions of dollars over the next decade, as losses from freezes can reach up to $20,000 per acre. Some growers have already seen improved survival rates with the spray, while others are waiting for more proof. Sterle is still refining the formula and testing it in various conditions, but the tool is showing promise for those chasing a profitable harvest.
