The researches carried out at the Research and Development Station for Fruit Growing Voineşti in the period 2015 - 2017, had as objective the evidence of modern plantations established after 2007 by the producers of SC Mere de Voineşti SRL; Owner Dan Ionescu, and I.I. Luminita Marin from Malu cu Flori. The tree culture in high density system extends mainly to apple trees in the Dâmboviţa fruit-tree basin, the interest of fruit growers is evident in the promotion of productive varieties, well adapted to the pedoclimatic conditions of the area, grafted on M.9 rootstock planted at a distance of 3,5 x 1 m, with a density of 2,857 trees/ha. The biggest yield belonging to SC Mere de Voineşti SRL were harvested from following varieties: 'Golden delicious' (43.2 t/ha), 'Braeburn' (35.4 t/ha) and 'Gala' (35.2 t/ha), trees that are 9-11 years old, in comparison with 'Gala' apple varieties (36.2 t/ha) and 'Idared' (33.8 t/ha) of 7-8 years old. In the apple tree orchard for 3 years, in the 'Golden delicious' and 'Ionaprince' varieties, production of 40.2 t/ha and 38.6 t/ha was achieved in 2017. At the Owner Dan Ionescu, with 8 years old trees, the most productive varieties were: 'Golden delicious' (38.9 t/ha), 'Idared' (34.7 t/ha) and 'Gala' (32.7 t/ha), and the producer I.I. Luminita Marin, located in Malu cu Flori, with trees in the 4th year after planting, recorded 34.3 t/ha in the 'Red Gala' variety, 46.8 t/ha in 'Golden delicious' and 42.8 t/ha to 'Pinova'. The high density apple system is recommended for expansion in the well-established fruit-growing areas of our country, including the Dâmboviţa fruit basin, due to the high yield and efficiency, the way of periodic and rapid replacement of the assortments, demanded more and more by consumers.
