The influence of mulching in tree rows on mineral content of soil and leaves of peach trees was estimated in Fruit Experimental Station beloging to Agricultural University of Wroclaw in 1998-00. Peaches of Inka cultivars on rootstock Manchurian peach were planted in density 694 trees per ha. There was no effect of mulching in tree rows on hydrolytic acidity of soil. The concentration of potassium in the soil under polypropylene fabric was significantly lower than in the herbicide fallow. The applied variants of mulching did not exert any significant influence on the phosphorus content. After 5 years of experiment the concentration of magnesium in the soil under herbicide fallow was lower than in the other treatments. All mulching variants did not cause the differences in mineral content of leaves in comparison to the control. In leaves of peach trees mulched by polypropylene fabric there was usually more of mineral contents comparison to trees mulching with pine bark
