Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Deficit irrigation reduced midday leaf water potential, leaf conductance and terminal growth regardless of irrigated soil volume.
- Association Under non-deficit irrigation, midday leaf water potential, leaf conductance and terminal growth were proportional to irrigated soil volume.
- Observation After deficit irrigation ended, terminal growth resumed above that of non-deficit trees irrigated in all four pots, proportional to the earlier growth reduction.
- Intervention effect Pruning increased peach leaf conductance within three days.
- Intervention effect Defoliation increased peach leaf conductance within three days.
- Intervention effect Increased soil volume increased peach leaf conductance after four weeks.
- Intervention effect Tripling soil volume overcame the deficit-irrigation effect on peach flowering.
- Intervention effect Pruning did not overcome the deficit-irrigation effect on peach flowering.
- Intervention effect Defoliation inhibited peach flowering.
- Observation Restricted irrigated soil volume had an effect similar to deficit irrigation.
- Intervention effect Increasing root-to-shoot ratio by soil-volume adjustment increased peach leaf conductance.
- Intervention effect Increasing root-to-shoot ratio by pruning the shoot increased peach leaf conductance.
