Other claims from this paper (16)
- Intervention effect Shoot length and number of leaves per shoot of peach trees were not significantly affected by the three irrigation levels in both seasons.
- Intervention effect Reducing irrigation increased the acidity of peach fruits.
- Intervention effect Reducing irrigation significantly reduced yield, fruit weight and flesh weight of peach.
- Intervention effect Reducing irrigation significantly reduced seed weight, TSS and total sugars of peach fruits.
- Intervention effect There was no significant difference between irrigation at 80% or 60% of calculated ETc, except for yield and seed weight, in both seasons.
- Intervention effect Number of leaves per shoot, yield and fruit flesh thickness of peach were not significantly affected by mepiquat chloride foliar application at any concentration in both seasons.
- Intervention effect The highest fruit TSS was obtained from peach trees sprayed with mepiquat chloride at 300 ppm.
- Intervention effect Peach trees sprayed with mepiquat chloride at 300 ppm had the lowest shoot length and leaf length and width.
- Intervention effect Peach trees sprayed with mepiquat chloride at 300 ppm had the lowest leaf area and total fruit acidity.
- Intervention effect Mepiquat chloride at 150 ppm gave the highest increase in fruit weight, flesh weight and fruit total sugars in both seasons.
- Intervention effect With mepiquat chloride spraying, decreasing irrigation caused no significant reduction in shoot length, leaf length and width and leaf area, especially at 150 ppm.
- Intervention effect With mepiquat chloride spraying at 300 ppm, decreasing irrigation caused no significant reduction in leaf total chlorophyll contents.
- Intervention effect The interaction between irrigation levels and mepiquat chloride foliar application failed to show a clear trend on the other studied parameters in both seasons.
- Intervention effect Mepiquat chloride at 150 and 300 ppm increased the thickness of the lamina of the peach leaf blade relative to unsprayed control.
- Intervention effect Irrigating peach trees at 60% of calculated ETc led to the highest water saving.
- Intervention effect Irrigating peach trees at 60% of calculated ETc gave the highest productivity of irrigation water, 4.83 and 5.33 kg peach fruits per m3 water.
