Pot experiments related to the peach replant problem

A. E. Gilmore

Hilgardia, 1963, vol. 34, issue 3

Abstract: Composting of peach-root substances with two different soils in pot cultures did not prove to be a reliable method of simulating the peach replant problem though peach-root wood sometimes hindered nitrogen availability and in one experiment other root substances depressed the growth of peach seedlings. Successive plantings in pots of these soils did produce the depression. Soil fumigation was an ineffective treatment but steaming effected a partial recovery.
