Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Sustained deficit irrigation (SDI) achieved water savings of approximately 50% relative to a fully irrigated control in pomegranate.
- Intervention effect SDI reduced total and marketable yield of pomegranate relative to a fully irrigated control.
- Intervention effect SDI decreased fruit size and unit weight of pomegranate relative to a fully irrigated control.
- Intervention effect SDI produced arils with higher dry matter content than a fully irrigated control in pomegranate.
- Intervention effect SDI left the maturity index of pomegranate unchanged across the irrigation strategies.
- Intervention effect SDI increased non-marketable production of pomegranate because of more cracking, particularly in the hot, dry summer of 2023.
- Intervention effect SDI gave a greater percentage of pink-red rind on marketable pomegranate fruits than the other strategies.
- Recommendation SDI could allow earlier harvesting of pomegranate and so enhance its commercial value.
- Intervention effect Regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) achieved a slight water saving in pomegranate.
- Intervention effect RDI did not compromise marketable yield or fruit quality characteristics of pomegranate.
