Crop load regulation and irrigation strategies to accelerate the recovery of previously water-stressed Japanese plum trees

Intrigliolo, D.S.; Ballester, C.; Castel, J.R. - In: Agricultural Water Management 132 (2014) C, pp. 23-29

Regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) has been proven as a useful irrigation strategy in a wide range of fruit crops to deal with water scarcity. However, long-term RDI techniques in developing orchards can reduce tree growth resulting in a loss of tree yield capacity. Strategies that could be used...

Fruit yield and quality response of a late season peach orchard to different irrigation regimes in a semi-arid environment

Faci, J.M.; Medina, E.T.; Martínez-Cob, A.; Alonso, J.M. - In: Agricultural Water Management 143 (2014) C, pp. 102-112

Some degree of deficit irrigation is normally applied to orchards in semi-arid environments in order to reduce unwanted vegetative growth and to increase water productivity. In this study the effect of three irrigation treatments on the yield and quality of the fruit production was evaluated...
