abstract: The aim of this study was to determine the influence of subsoiling and fertilization levels on the growth of apple and pear trees replanted on a liquidated 28-year-old orchard. The reaction of both types of fruit trees to replanting was compared. It was found, based on 4-year research, that pear trees reacted more positively than apple trees, both to replantation on an apple orchard and applied experimentad activities, including nitrogen fertilization and subsoiling. After changing the tree type (pears after apples) and in environmental conditions in which the experiment was carried out, using subsoiling instead of recultivating the whole area tuned out to be sufficient for ensuring appropriate growth of pear trees.
