- Intervention effect Defruiting increased stem and feeder-root total carbohydrate content.
- Intervention effect Trunk ringing increased peel and pulp dry weight in some fruiting trees.
- Intervention effect Trunk ringing increased peel and pulp total carbohydrate content in some fruiting trees.
- Intervention effect Organ dry weight did not significantly differ between low and medium soil moisture.
- Intervention effect After transfer from low to medium moisture, new leaves had a higher dry-matter rate than continuously medium-moisture trees.
- Intervention effect After transfer from low to medium moisture, old leaves had a higher dry-matter rate.
- Intervention effect After transfer from low to medium moisture, fruit had a higher dry-matter rate.
- Intervention effect Fruit dry weight did not significantly differ between moisture conditions.
- Intervention effect Fruit total sugar and carbohydrate content did not significantly differ between moisture conditions.
- Intervention effect Reduced soil moisture increased fruit dry-matter rate.
- Mechanism The authors attributed fruit quality under low moisture to reduced fruit water absorption.
- Intervention effect Low moisture increased pulp fructose and glucose.
- Intervention effect Low moisture decreased pulp sucrose.
- Intervention effect Low moisture apparently did not affect photosynthate translocation into fruit.
