Focusing On
Orchard Replant

Replant disorder happens when perennial crops are planted in soils that contain a mix of nematodes and soil-borne diseases.

Replant disorder occurs from planting perennial crops into soils where a complex of nematodes and soil-borne diseases are present.

Tree replants, even resistant rootstock varieties, are especially prone to Replant disorder. Orchards suffering from replant disorder show poor, non-uniform growth and low vigor, often for the entire life of the crop. As root and vegetative growth suffers, so do yields.

When you are getting ready to plant your orchard, the health of the soil in which you’re planting, has one of the most influential impacts on early tree growth and harvest yields. Studies repeatedly show that soils fumigated with Chloropicrin produce healthier roots that allow trees to establish themselves faster and more uniformly. This allows fertilizer and irrigation inputs to be utilized more efficiently, saving you time and money on the front end, and maximizing your harvest yields and profits on the back-end.

Chloropicrin is a pre-plant soil fumigant and the foundation for a successful pest management system. For orchard growers, Chloropicrin is used to effectively manage many common soil-borne diseases.

Field Cases:

WE’VE BEEN STUDYING TREES.

Treated Tomato

FUMIGATED ORCHARD SOIL:
  • Rapid seedling establishment
  • Increases early growth
  • Earlier and larger yields
  • Increases orchard longevity
Untreated Tomato

NON-FUMIGATED ORCHARD SOIL:
  • Slower seedling establishment
  • Sluggish early growth
  • Delayed and smaller yields
  • Shorter orchard longevity

REAL RESULTS

SOIL FUMIGATION BENEFITING ALL ROOTSTOCKS

Treated orchard

TREATED: One Year Later
  • Healthier Roots
  • Faster Seedling Establishment
  • Greater Growth
  • Earlier and Larger Yields
Untreated orchard

UNTREATED: One Year Later
