In comparing- orchards from the view point of efficiency, this seems the most logical unit. In most cases, each operation up to harvest was calculated on the basis of hours per mature tree equivalent, hours per expected normal yield, and hours per actual yield. While none of these measurements is perfect, the combination of all may give a good picture of the situation. Where orchards are of about the same bearing age, ex- pected normal yield is probably the best measure in any one year. The actual yield is perhaps the best measure when orchards are of. Spray management is the chief factor in determining best unit of size of orchard. If one can spray an orchard thoroughly, the other operations up to harvest can be done without too heavy a draft upon available labor. similar ages if the data cover a long enough period to warrant accept- ance as average yields. The mature tree equivalent is best where or- chards vary in age, especially if some have a large proportion of young Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station.
