Abstract/Contents:"An experiment comparing various mulches, an orchard floor vegetative cover and cultivation was started in a young, established apple orchard. In the first two years of the experiment, establishment of a low maintenance grass sward in the tree row strip severely reduced crop yield and soil and crop nitrogen concentrations. All the mulches provided good control of weeds. In the second year the organic mulches reduced soil mineral nitrogen concentrations but did not have any consistent effect upon crop nitrogen status. The black polypropylene mulch increased yield in the second year. Regular cultivation of the tree row strip achieved partial weed control, the yield was lower and soil mineral nitrogen concentration was reduced in the second year of the experiment."
