Many urban communities are considering infrastructure investments to augment their water supply in response to actual or expected shortages due to weather variability and, in some cases, due to climate change. To address short-term imbalances between supply and demand, water utilities frequently...

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...

The sustainable water use especially for irrigated agriculture in the Texas Panhandle Region is a major concern. A semi-arid climate and average low rainfalls results in little surface water being available year-round. The Ogallala Aquifer is the primary source of irrigation water in this...

Deficit irrigation is widely used in tomato production because of water shortage. Many studies indicate that tomato yield is reduced but the fruit quality is improved under certain degree of water deficit. In order to investigate the quantitative relationship between tomato yield, fruit quality...

An experiment was carried out in a high-density olive (Olea europaea L. cv. Frantoio) orchard to determine the effect of different irrigation regimes (full, deficit, complementary) on virgin olive oil (VOO) quality over three consecutive years. Irrigation had negligible effects on free acidity,...

Root pruning is an effective approach for controlling vegetative growth of pear trees (Pyrus communis L.), yet the underlying mechanisms for such effect remain largely elusive. A two-year field experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of root pruning and irrigation regimes on leaf...
