| Title: | Cultivar Diversity: A Neglected Risk Management Strategy |
| Authors: | Tadesse, Dawit
Blank, Steven C. |
| Keywords: | cultivar
diversification
peaches
risk management

| Issue Date: | 2003-08 |
| Abstract: | Risk reduction through diversification across cultivars is evaluated. A case study of peach growers in California shows that cultivar diversity reduces both yield and revenue variability. As a result, the probability of falling below minimum income requirements set using a safety-first model is reduced using this strategy. |
