Abstract
The irrigation of pear orchards is in great expansion throughout Italy's districts. Indeed, it is seen as a primary tool in pursuing high yields and fruit quality and, hence, in improving grower's income. Yet the need to save water as a resource requires every effort in technical and agronomic approaches to increase water-use efficiency. The application of suitable management strategies is surely the most effective way to save water while safeguarding crop yield and quality. Irrigation scheduling and depth via a water-balance Decision Support System can decidedly upgrade efficient water use. Indeed, regulated deficit irrigation (ROI) in pear orchard management has demonstrated that, in terms of full water restitution, it is possible to save 30% of water inputs while improving yield, fruit size and, consequently, gross production. Drip irrigation, if well planned and set up, affords high irrigation efficiency. The technological innovation represented by the integral drip-line and the consequent possibility of implementing subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) makes it possible to achieve progress in the efficient use of water in the orchard. Recent experimental evidence indicates, moreover, that it is even possible to employ the so-called photovoltaic drip irrigation (Solardrip), which binds together energy inputs and water savings via the appropriate scheduling approach
