Abstract
Background: The results of studies of the influence of long-term fertilization on the growth parameters of apple trees of the Aidared
variety on seed and vegetative M.4 rootstocks during repeated cultivation on dark gray podzolic soil were considered.
Methods: The research was conducted during 1990-2016 in the apple tree plantation of the Uman National University of Horticulture
in an experiment with long-term use of different fertilization systems.
Result: It was found that the length of shoot growth of the experimental variety depended on the age periods of growth, rootstock
and fertilization options. During the period of growth and fruiting, shoot growth was weak (19.4-22.2 cm) in all variants on both
rootstocks due to the impact of soil toxin and difficult weather conditions on the re-grown trees. During the fruiting and growth
periods, shoot growth was the largest, while during the fruiting period it decreased again, which was due to an increase in fruit yield
and lack of moisture for normal growth of experimental trees. A significant increase in tree crown volume (by 38%) during the fruiting
period was observed on the seed stock compared to the vegetative M.4
