Nitrate of Soda Shown Best for Apples and Peaches
Frederick County growers are urged to use nitrate of soda based on Winchester Laboratory field trials. Dr. Auchter’s tests on Harrison’s Peach Orchard show yields three bushels per tree more with nitrate of soda than with phosphate and potash mixes.
