Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect At Site 1, a −15 kPa threshold improved strawberry yield by 6.2% against common practice.
- Intervention effect At Site 2, irrigation treatments did not affect strawberry yield.
- Intervention effect At Site 2, matric-potential management decreased water use efficiency against common practice.
- Mechanism Maintaining matric potential below −9 kPa could stress plants at Site 2.
- Intervention effect At Site 3, −8 kPa produced the best yield.
- Intervention effect At Site 3, −8 kPa produced the best water use efficiency.
- Recommendation At Site 3, high-frequency irrigation could further improve water use efficiency.
- Recommendation At Site 4, −10 to −15 kPa could optimize yield and water use efficiency.
- Intervention effect At Site 4, matric-potential management reduced below-root-zone leaching against common practice.
- Recommendation Across sites, −10 kPa was suggested as a starting threshold for irrigation optimization.
