The Bourbon County Horticulture program of the Cooperative Extension Service provides advanced orchard testing services and recommendations to local fruit growers. These tests include tissue analysis and soil tests, which are essential for monitoring the health and productivity of local commercial orchards. Recently, the program conducted numerous tests for a grower who planted thousands of new apple and peach trees in the county. The tests revealed some nutrient deficiencies and imbalances that could affect the quality and overall health of the newly planted orchard sections. Based on the test results, the program offered specific recommendations to address these problems, such as adjusting the fertilizer rates and timing, applying foliar sprays, and modifying the irrigation practices. The grower was very satisfied with the service and has already implemented some of the changes suggested by the program. This is an example of how the Bourbon County Horticulture program helps local commercial growers improve their orchard management and profitability.
