Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of two irrigation levels [100 percent of field capacity (FC) (control)] and 30 percent FC (deficit irrigation) on vegetative growth, biochemical status, and water use efficiency of five pomegranate cultivars (Wonderful, Manfalouty, Acco, Assuity and 116) over two seasons in 2019 and 2020. The results showed that deficit irrigation reduced the dry weight of the shoots and roots, as well as the chlorophyll content of the leaves, in all the pomegranate cultivars. Meanwhile, under stress, proline content, total soluble sugars, total phenols, and peroxidase activity all increased significantly. The Manfalouty cultivar had the highest shoot and root dry weights, as well as the highest water use efficiency, proline content, and total phenols. Furthermore, when compared to other cultivars, the Wonderful cultivar had the highest chlorophyll content during both seasons. In comparison to the other cultivars studied, the Wonderful cultivar showed the limited or no significant increase in peroxidase activity. This could be due to a genotype’s variable peroxidase activity potential in pomegranate cultivars under water stress. The obtained results may indicate that Manfalouty and Wonderful cultivars are more tolerant of deficit irrigation than the other cultivars studied.
