THE CLINTON CHRONICLE
FARMS and FOLKS

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
