Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at El-Kanater Horticultural Research Station, Egypt in the seasons of 2017 and 2018 to study raised bed cultivation system for apple trees production is a new technique nowadays. The obtained results indicated that raised bed 200 cm (i.e.100 cm. from each side of the pseudo stems) was superior than 100 cm (i.e.50 cm. from each side of the pseudo stems) which was better than flat irrigation. The treatment of raised bed 200 cm significantly increased water use efficiency, vegetative growth parameters, yield about (21 and 20 % both seasons), fruit quality, leaf nutrient composition (N, P and K) and root distribution. Raised bed 200 cmtreatment effectively saves 23.6 % and 23.2 % (1439.5 and 1452.1 m3/fed./year) through the two studied seasons. So, raised bed 200 cmtreatment is recommended for apple growers on clay loamy soil.
