water deficit decreased gas exchange and hydraulic conductivity parameters. However, these variables had recovered to control levels after 5 d of rewatering ( Chen et al., 2010 ). Irrigation scheduling is the process used to determine when to irrigate
deficit and evaporation rates during a long summer, need to be irrigated during part of their seasonal cycle. The limited water resources characteristic of this region have promoted the development of several strategies of deficit irrigation. In a deficit
Drip irrigation has rapidly become the most popular method to irrigate blueberry in most countries, including the United States and Canada. Young plants often grow better with drip than with conventional sprinkler systems and, as a result, produce
.) Merr. ‘Zeon’] in two different substrates. The second objective was to investigate the impact of increasing either substrate depth or the amount of irrigation on Manilagrass growth and recovery potential during and after moisture deficit periods
to supplement irrigation, which makes pecan vulnerable to water deficits. Low soil moisture negatively affects several physiological processes in pecan trees, such as photosynthesis ( A ) and gas exchange ( Othman et al., 2014a ). Water deficit
relatively hydrophilic substrate in which available water is present, thus minimizing channeling and supporting more “piston flow” like hydraulics within the container column ( Hoskins et al., 2014a ). Deficit irrigation is also becoming more commonly
irrigation is very efficient in saving water itself, but its efficiency can be increased by applying deficit irrigation (DI) in the field ( Selim et al., 2012 ). Although this irrigation method causes water stress to plants, if the yield reduction is lower
watering (PSEFW). Partial-saturation subirrigation is a method of regulated deficit irrigation where the medium does not saturate during each irrigation event. Pots may take in 25% less water than those under full saturation ( Gent and McAvoy, 2011 ). The
was only 60% to 70% of estimated ETc for apple without cover crop. In that study, deficit irrigation (DI) and PRS were at ≈50% to 60% of the CI. They found that the 3-year average potential evapotranspiration was 991 mm and irrigation amounts applied
‘Fuji’ apple in the deficit and partial zone irrigation systems was similar to that of CI ( Leib et al., 2006 ), perhaps because the irrigation volume applied in their CI trees was only 60% to 70% of estimated ETc, but ours was not. However, our results
