Influences of irrigation interval,nitrogen fertilization and plant spacing on tomato fruit yield and quality

Irrigation of Fruit Trees and Vines

The impacts of three different water stresstiming patterns for three levels of seasonal applied water on production were evaluated in mature almond trees [Prunus dulcis (Mill.) Webb cv. Nonpareil] grown under high-evaporative demand conditions in the southern San Joaquin Valley of California. The stress timing patterns involved biasing water deficits to the pre-harvest or postharvest periods in...
