Abstract：Using the early -ripening peach variety Jinlinghuanglu as material,the effects of rain shelter cultivation on growth and fruit quality of peach were explored through investigating the fruit vertical diameter, transverse diameter,dehiscent fruit rate,fruit setting rate,yield,fruit quality and etc.The results showed that rain shelter cultivation did not change the growth and development process of fruits,but the vertical and transverse diameter grew faster than those of open field cultivation.Rain shelter cultivation significantly re-duced the dehiscent fruit phenomenon with the dehiscent fruit rate of only 6.5% compared with 20.3% in open field.The fruit hardness,contents of soluble solids,total sugar and VC were significantly higher than those in open field.However,the total acid content was significantly lower than that in open field.There was no significant variation on single fruit weight.Besides,rain shelter cultivation significantly improved the fruit setting rate and yield.The fruit yield of rain shelter cultivation achieved 3 600 kg per 666.7m2 ,which in-creased by 28.6% than that in open field.
