Fernanda CSIC ORCID; Moriana, Alfonso CSIC ORCID; Moreno Lucas, Félix CSIC ORCID; Torrecillas Melendreras, Arturo CSIC ORCID | Fecha de publicación: | 2011 | Editor: | Elsevier | Citación: | Environmental and Experimental Botany 71(3): 409-415 (2011) | Resumen: | The aim of this paper was to test the possibility of scheduling regulated deficit Irrigation (RDI) using exclusively maximum daily trunk shrinkage (MDS) measurements, and that RDI strategies can be applied in early maturing peach trees reducing significantly the seasonal water use. During three growing seasons, 6-year-old peach trees (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch cv. Flordastar) grafted on P. persica x P. amygdalus GF-677 peach rootstock were submitted to different drip irrigation treatments. Control (T0) plants were irrigated above the estimated crop evapotranspiration level (approximate to 130% ET(C)) and T1 plants were submitted to RDI, which were irrigated in order to maintain MDS signal intensity (SI) values close to unity (no irrigation-related stress) from the fruit thinning stage to 2 weeks after harvest, at MDS SI values close to 1.3 during the early postharvest period, and at MDS SI values of 1.6 during the late postharvest period. The RDI strategy assayed reduced the seasonal water applied by 35-42% with respect to estimated ET(C) without affecting yield efficiency components or the distribution of different peach fruit categories, while improving water productivity. The only vegetative growth component affected by RDI was pruning weight, indicating that vigor regulation as a result of RDI may decrease the competition for assimilates between vegetative apexes and reserve tissues. Also, the absence of any significant effect of RDI on the ratio between yield and the increase in trunk cross sectional area suggested similar carbon partitioning schemes during fruit growth. To improve the precision of MDS SI-driven schedule in RDI strategies changes in the irrigation protocol should be considered so that the scheduled water deficit levels are attained more rapidly. For this, when it is necessary to change from a MDS SI threshold value to a higher one, the daily irrigation rate should be decreased by more than 3%. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/65163 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.envexpbot.2011.02.014 | Identificadores: | doi: 10.1016/j.envexpbot.2011.02.014 issn: 0098-8472 |
