In a young apple orchard planted on the Romanian plain on a brown-reddish soil, organic cultural practices were applied. Apple trees of five scab resistant varieties: Topaz, Rubinola, Gold Rush, Generos and Redix, were planted at 3.5 x 1.0 m and led as vertical axe. A trellis formed with 4.0 m oak wooden poles, 2 wires and bamboo canes was used to lead and to support the trees. The inter row was cultivated with a mixture of perennial grasses and mowed mechanically. Drip irrigation was provided on the row, having a continuous line with auto compensating drippers every 0.5 m. On the row, the soil was maintained clean by hand and mechanical cultivation. For fertilization, organo­mineral products, derived from seaweed have been used. Tecamin Flower was applied before blooming, Tecamin Brix and Tecnokel Amino Ca B was use as foliar fertilizer and Agriful, for soil application. Different parameters as: tree growth, blooming intensity, fruit number, fruit size and productivity per tree have been influenced by the variety and by the applied fertilizers.
