Abstract: Apple is the second most abundant fruit species at the territory of the Republic of Serbia, right after plum. Most of the apples are grown in technologically obsolete plantations, whereby the most of plantations have no irrigation systems. Because of this, climatic conditions have great impact on achieved yields and their stability, as well as on gained business results (incomes) at the holdings. According to this, main goal of the paper is to present the economics effects of irrigation applied in apple production at the area of Vojvodina province. In order to determine the economic effects of integral apple production under use of irrigation, in paper were presented calculations based on variable costs concerning the usual apple production, as well as production in modern systems with application of irrigation.
