Excerpt from Maine Agricultural Experiment Station: Orchard Notes, 1906The comparative study of cultivation and mulch, as treatment for a young bearing orchard, showed results somewhat different in the season of 1906 from those obtained the previous season. The growth of trees was essentially the, same as in previous years, but the yield of fruit was, in some cases at least, better from the mulched trees. There is less tendency to deterioration, i. E. There are fewer dead or dying trees, among the Gravensteins on the mulched area than on the cultivated, possibly due to the fact that growth had been less vigorous, and the wood had more nearly matured previous to the recent severe winters. Little difference was noticed in this respect in the relative effects of the use of stable manure and concentrated fertilizers.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
