To understand more about the underlying causes of replant disease, Summerfruit NZ has contracted Plant & Food Research to carry out a review of Summerfruit (Prunus) replant disease.
A technote, summarising the key information from the review report, can be found on the Portal under Pest & Disease Management.
The review highlights the complexity that can result in replant disease, including changing soil microbe diversity, soil nutrients and enzyme activity.
The technote describes the most effective management techniques and summarises the review.
