ABSTRACT
The studies were carried out in orchard of the Agricultural and Pomicultural Experimental Farm in Przybroda owned by the Agricultural University of Poznań. On the area of the replanted orchard, the occurrence of 8 nematode families or types was identified in a very diversified number. Temik was the only one that limited significantly number of nematodes both from the genus Pratylenchus and from the other genera and families. The total number of nematodes depended on the applied soil moisture level. The most safe locality under apple-tree orchard regarding the number of harmful nematodes was a soil where apple trees never had been grown before.
Key words: apple trees, replant soil, nematoda.
