HAMILTON Clemson College Extension Information Specialist Researeh by Clemson Univer sity on soil from sites previously planted to peaches has given a possible clue to the widespread early dying of peach trees in the Coastal Plains section of South Carolina. A greenhouse project designed to determine soil factors causing poor growth and yields of cotton on old peach orchard sites has revealed excessive amounts of zinc in the orchard soil. This zinc, according to C. R. Lee, graduate research assist ant with the Agronomy Depart ment, was found to be excessive ly high in the plant tissues of the cotton grown on orchard soil. The zinc in the orchard soil was so detrimental to growth that after 77 days cotton plants grown in it were less than an inch high. In contrast, a check plot containing soil from another site which had never been plant ed to peaches produced cotton 12 inches tall. To verify the findings, Lee applied zinc to the soil which had produced normal 12 - inch cotton and induced the 1-inch cotton as found on old orchard soil. These findings were not di rectly related to the early dying of peach trees. But horticultur ists, soil scientists, and peach growers who heard a report of Lee’s work at Johnston last week say the findings are “high ly suggestive” that excessive zinc may be a factor in the peach tree deaths. Zinc is a constituent of some peach sprays formulated to con trol bacterial diseases and to provide zinc as a nutrient. Rain washes the spray from the tree and it accumulates in the soil. While this is not a hazard to human health, it is apparently playing havoc with the nutrition of some plants. Zinc is an essen tial plant nutrient but is requir ed in very small amounts. Sol uble concentrations in excess of a few parts per million in the soil can be detrimental to plant and Jimmie Thomason, III, of growth.
