In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there were analyzed the results of study of different ways to keep ground near stems in a young apple (Malus) orchard. There was established significant positive influence of mulching ground by sawdust on the indices of tree growth - bole cross-section area and its increase was higher than at keeping the ground near stems with herbicides and fallow land. Summarizing two years of fruiting the highest yield was harvested from studied cv. Vesyalina and Alesya on dwarf rootstock 62-396 in the variant of keeping ground with fallow lad - 20.3 and 16.1 t/ha; on super-dwarf rootstock PB-4 - in the variant of mulching ground - 15.2 and 19.3 t/ha with high outcome of marketable fruit - on 2-12% higher in comparison with the control variant.
