Irrigation is a very important link in fruit growing of semi-arid regions. Dynamics of soil water content was studied insuch a region, Dobrogea, Romania, during more irrigation cycles. The biological material studied was peach,'Cardinal’ variety, grafted on franc rootstock in a 4 x 3 m layout, with a trained spindle bush canopy shape. Soilmanagement system was represented by clean cultivation both between tree rows and in the row. It was found that themain root activity of the peach orchard occurred in the 0-80 cm soil layer, and this finding could be used for bothirrigation planning and scheduling.
