Abstract
This paper addresses the issue of economics in high density apple plantings and the specific impact of orchard replant problem on gross revenues and profitability.
The analysis is based on a subjective evaluation of yield reductions due to replant problem.
An overview of the major points related to evaluating the economics is provided and interpreted for two production systems and densities of apples; central axe at 1,655 trees per hectare and slender spindle at 2,990 trees per hectare.
The delay and/or reduction in yields caused by replant problem can turn potentially profitable projects into non-economic ones.
Loss potentials are very significant and must be addressed by orchard managers and professional advisors.
Replant problem is a significant variable in assessing the viability and economics of new apple plantings.
