The gradual increase demand for water resources, the interest for growing techniques provides irrigation water saving in agricultural production and have no undesired impacts on yield, crop quality, growth and development. This study determined the effects of different mulch materials (black textile, rose oil processing wastes, wheat straw, and no mulch) and irrigation programs on growth of in an orchard for Fuji apple variety grafted on MM106 rootstock on irrigation water, water consumption, shoot number, shoot diameter, shoot length, leaf area index and trunk cross-sectional area. The highest vegetative development was obtained at mulch treatments and frequently irrigated 1st irrigation program. 1st irrigation program was determined as recommended irrigation when the available water resources are sufficient and also 2nd irrigation program together with mulch materials when available water resources are scarce. Each mulch treatment saved water compared to control as 22.0-31.3%, 21.2-28.7% and 17.8-23.5% in 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively. Black textile was determined the most suitable mulch material for young apple trees according to results of water saving and vegetative development. Rose oil processing wastes and straw also can be used as mulch materials.
