Abstract
Abstract This chapter considers individual system management components (orchard floor preparation before planting; weed effects; weed management; orchard floor management effects on insects and small mammals; management of ground covers, row middles and drive alleys; and ground cover interactions with irrigation and fertilizer application), their integration, and their influences on the management of a peach orchard floor (soil and understorey vegetation of an orchard ecosystem). Management systems (year-round vegetation-free orchard floor, vegetation-free tree rows with vegetated drive alleys, and permanent vegetation management by mowing) are discussed.
