The experiment was conducted in the years 2005-2008 in the Research - Development Station in Samotwor, of the Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences. Apple trees of 'Ligol' and 'Pinova' grafted on M.26 were planted in the spring 2005, in 3.5 x 1 m spacing (2857 trees/ha). The trees were planted in a traditional way, into pits or in ridges. The second factor was the usage of agrogel as a soil additive. Agrogel was applied in the form of a tape made of thick agro-textile with a granulate preparation closed inside, what is called a geo-textile. The tape was soaked in water for 24 hours and then spread on the soil in a line along the future row of trees. The experiment was established according to the method of randomized split-blocks, in four replications, with four trees on each plot. A combination of planting trees in ridges with simultaneous use of agrogel proved to be an advantageous way to improve the yielding of 'Ligol'. The trees of 'Pinova' were characterized as having a smaller yield size, in the first three years after the trees were planted in ridges, regardless of the agrogel application. In the case of 'Ligol' planted in ridges, agrogel brought about an evident tendency to improvement of tree vegetative growth, measured by TCSA in all the years that the experiment was carried out. As far as 'Pinova' was concerned, the poorer tree growth when planted in ridges, proved to be more evident when agrogel was simultaneously used.
