Abstract
In spring 1983 the raspberry variety ‘Schönemann’ was planted on a field half of which was previously cultivated with raspberries and the other half with apples.
Half of each section was fumigated with 50 ml/m2 Di-Trapex (Dichlorpropene + Methylisothyocyanate), the other half was not treated.
After the first growing season the cane growth had increased by 300% compared with the untreated control.
A similar increase was found in the first yield in 1984. Besides the specific replant problems the plants on the plots without fumigation suffered from a high level of nematodes, especially Pratylenchus penetrans. Fumigation with Di-Trapex reduced the level of those parasitic nematodes considerably.
