Two systems of soil management were permanently established in tree rows in the second year after planting sour cherry cv. English Morello grafted on Prunus mahaleb. These systems were either rape (or wheat) straw mulching (SM) or herbicide strips (HS) maintained with glyphosate + MCPA. In 1998, three years after this experiment was set up, the content of available P, K and organic C in the arable layer was similar in SM- and HS-soils. In July the foliage of trees grown in mulched soil was richer in N and K than that of trees from herbicide strips. There was no significant influence of soil treatments on the cumulative fruit yield in the first three years. No rodent damage was observed in trees grown both in straw-mulched and herbicide-treated soil
