Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect Partial root-zone drying reduced olive vegetative growth.
- Intervention effect PRD100 decreased olive yield by about 47% in productive years.
- Intervention effect Olive fruit oil amount and quality were unaffected by irrigation treatment.
- Intervention effect Photosynthesis declined in PRD50 olive trees.
- Intervention effect Photosynthesis declined in rain-fed olive trees.
- Intervention effect PRD100 did not alter stomatal conductance.
- Intervention effect PRD100 did not alter foliar ABA concentration.
- Intervention effect Rain-fed treatment increased stem water potential.
- Intervention effect PRD50 increased stem water potential.
- Intervention effect Rain-fed treatment increased foliar concentrations of ABA, proline and soluble sugars.
- Intervention effect PRD50 increased foliar concentrations of ABA, proline and soluble sugars.
- Observation Olive stomata were relatively insensitive to elevated CO2 and ABA.
- Recommendation Partial deficit irrigation may be more suitable for Chetoui olive production.
