Other claims from this paper (16)
- Observation Average SWP under T1 (100% ETc) was -0.68 over the three-year period.
- Observation Average SWP under T2 (75% ETc) was -0.83 over the three-year period.
- Observation Average SWP under T3 (50% ETc) was -1.04 MPa over the three-year period.
- Observation Available water remaining (%AWr) under T1 (100% ETc) was 89.9 over the three-year period.
- Observation Available water remaining (%AWr) under T2 (75% ETc) was 71.7 over the three-year period.
- Observation Available water remaining (%AWr) under T3 (50% ETc) was 41.4 over the three-year period.
- Association SWP was highly correlated with %AWr (r2 = 0.89).
- Intervention effect Trunk growth decreased by 6% under T2 (75% ETc) after three years.
- Intervention effect Trunk growth decreased by 10% under T3 (50% ETc) after three years.
- Intervention effect Shoot length under T3 (50% ETc) was 27% lower than under T1.
- Intervention effect Yield efficiency was 57% higher than under T1.
- Association Seasonal shoot length was highly correlated with flower bud density on productive branches (r2 = -0.76).
- Intervention effect Average fruit weight was not affected by the deficit irrigation treatments.
- Intervention effect Double fruits were not substantially affected by the deficit irrigation treatments.
- Recommendation An accurately adjusted post-harvest water deficit can be used to control vigor and promote early production of cherries.
- Recommendation An accurately adjusted post-harvest water deficit can save significant amounts of water in cherry production.
