Other claims from this paper (13)
- Observation In control trees, stem water potential was 131% lower in year three than year two.
- Observation In control trees, leaf conductance was 31% lower in year three than year two.
- Observation In control trees, shoot growth was 56% lower in year three than year two.
- Intervention effect In year two, irrigation treatment had no significant effect on evaluated parameters apart from T4 stem water potential.
- Intervention effect T4 stem water potential fell below other treatments in late September of year two.
- Intervention effect In year three T4 reduced shoot growth by 52% versus T1.
- Intervention effect In year three T4 reduced trunk diameter by 13% versus T1.
- Intervention effect In year three T4 reduced leaf area density by 31% versus T1.
- Intervention effect Irrigation did not significantly affect external surface area or canopy volume.
- Intervention effect T3 and T1 did not differ in vegetative, canopy or inflorescence parameters.
- Intervention effect T3 stem water potential and leaf conductance were significantly lower than T1.
- Recommendation Authors recommend T3 as most efficient during years two and three, with 36 and 76 mm irrigation.
- Recommendation Authors advise maximizing growth because water stress did not advance flowering.
