- Intervention effect Deficit irrigation applied 29.8% less water than the control over the crop cycle.
- Intervention effect Deficit irrigation reduced soil water content from 30 cm depth compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Deficit irrigation gave a lower contribution of N, around 43%, compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Deficit irrigation gave a lower contribution of P, around 41.8%, compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Deficit irrigation gave a lower contribution of K, around 22%, compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Deficit irrigation led to less salinization of the soil profile than the control.
- Intervention effect No significant difference between treatments was detected in leaf-level concentration of these nutrients.
- Intervention effect No difference in harvest index was observed at harvest between deficit irrigation and the control (0.53 and 0.59).
- Intervention effect Ascorbic acid in fruit was higher under deficit irrigation than under the control.
- Intervention effect Deficit irrigation did not negatively affect crop water status or the amount and quality of the yield.
- Observation The volume of water applied in both treatments was lower than recommended by FAO.
