There were six different treatments (none deficit irrigation, I₁; continuous deficit irrigation, I₂; deficit irrigation between the 40^th and 70^th days after full bloom, DAFB, I₃; deficit irrigation between the 70^th and 100^th DAFB, I₄; deficit irrigation between the 100th and 130^th DAFB, I₅; deficit irrigation between the 130th and 160^th DAFB, I₆) in this study and their effects on yield and fruit quality and profitability were investigated. I₃ and I₆ with none deficit irrigation treatments were found to be most suitable practices in economic terms because of the high amount of quality fruits and yield values. Gross profit of the applications were determined as from highest to lowest, I₁, I₃, I₆, I₅, I₄ and I₂, respectively. Keywords : Malus x domestica, Gross profit, Income, Deficit irrigation
