Abstract

Peach (Prunus persica) is grown commercially on 3,500 acres in Utah and in thousands of backyards. Growing peaches organically in the Intermountain West can be challenging because pest pressure can be high and organic management options are more limited than conventional options. However, with careful planning, frequent monitoring, and precise timing of management practices, growers can produce good crops.
