The dripirrigation was started from March 20, administering daily for 4 hours. Recommended watering periods, depending onthe weather of the year are:5-15 of March; 1-15 of May (after the fruit tying); 15-25 of July; 10-15 of September; 1-15of November, the supply. The needed water norms are between 300 and 700 m 3 /ha.Key words: chemical, irrigation, organoleptic, physical, storage.INTRODUCTIONMATERIALS AND METHODSInfluence of drip irrigation on productionquality is the effect on the nutritional and foodvalue of fruits (Atkinson D., 1977; Gherghi et.al., 1972). Nutritional and food value of thefruits represents the purpose for growing fruitTo establish the ability to maintain quality freshapples were taken 5 homologated cultivars, ofwhich Generos and Florina disease-resistantand Jonathan, Golden Delicious and Idared,with widespread in the current assortment intrees, fruit bushes and strawberries as our country. Fruits were kept after harvesting asupplements of vitamins, sugars, minerals,acids and energy (calories) needed for properperiod of about 50-60 days, depending oncultivar, in the storage spaces of the resort,body growth and development (Botu, 2003). In from where they were then taken foraddition, the fruits also contain magnesium, experiments and refrigerated in storagemanganese, copper, zinc and iron, as well asthe important minerals in the diet (Gherghi A.,1983)Apples in controlled storage conditions canprolong the storage period of 3-9 monthswithout losing its qualities. Storage andconsumption during the same organolepticcharacteristics depend on the terms offered andconditions (t=0...+4°C, RH = 90-95%) over aperiod of 110 days in cold storage ofBelciugatele Didactic Station, located insidethe Moara Domneasca Farm.After removal from storage were madedeterminations regarding the following:- the quantitative and qualitative lossesrecorded by the fruit during storage;the particular cultivar. It is known that during - modifying fruit firmness (penetrometerstorage, the apples suffer structural-texturalchanges that are produced slower or fasterdepending on the characteristics of cultivarsdetermined) during storage;- evolution of the main chemical componentsof the apples during storage;and storage conditions (Gherghi A et. all., - organoleptic assessment (appearance,2001). When apples with great firmness atharvest are stored in controlled atmospherestorage, they can use the same value until thenext harvest of early cultivars (Gherghi A.,firmness, taste) of fruit after storage.The premise of the scientific and technicalexperiments was to assess behavior duringwinter storage of the 2 cultivars of apples1989).introduced in the experimentation andcomparison with other cultivars.
