We have studied the effects of partial root-zone drying (PRD) on plant physiological
response, plant-soil water dynamics, yield and fruit quality of young orange trees during the …

Orchards consist of complex agricultural systems, with a variety of characteristics (planting
density, tree height, training system, canopy cover, irrigation method, interrow management) …

In this study, the adaptation characteristics of orange trees, related to the application over a
decade of deficit irrigation (DI) strategies, have been explored. To this purpose, the analysis …

In the study, deficit irrigation (DI) strategies were imposed on a young orange orchard in
Sicily (Southern Italy) with the aim to monitor and analyze crop physiological features, first …

Energy and water balance parameters were measured in two commercial vineyards in the
semiarid region of the São Francisco river basin, Brazil. Actual evapotranspiration (ET) was …
