Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Orchard weed species differed between summer and winter.
- Observation The seasonal vegetation difference was not apparent by strip width or irrigation.
- Method / resource At Jackson Springs, predicted irrigated strip widths matching the grower standard trunk area were 1.5, 1.3 and 0.8 m for trees aged one, two and three years.
- Method / resource At Jackson Springs, a predicted irrigated strip width of 1.16 m matched grower-standard yield.
- Association At Clayton, trunk area and fruit yield rose linearly with vegetation-free strip width.
- Intervention effect Irrigated trees had lower leaf nitrogen than nonirrigated trees at both locations.
- Association At Jackson Springs, leaf nitrogen, leaf area and SPAD were positively related to strip width.
- Intervention effect At Clayton, leaf nitrogen concentration did not differ by strip width.
- Association At Clayton, leaf area and SPAD were positively related to strip width.
- Recommendation The authors suggest a 1.5 m strip with irrigation and fertilization for growth and yield comparable to the grower standard.
