In a peach orchard (cv. Maria Aurelia) grafted on seedling and GF677, transpiration and absolute fruits growth rate were tested as indexes of temporary water stresses with different water table levels and irrigation regimes. The treatments tested were: shallow and deep water table (85 cm and 225 cm), irrigation with 100% ETe and no irrigation at all. A correlation between transpiration rate and water table levels was not found, although different patterns were obtained for different rootstock and irrigation regimes. Differences in the absolute growth rate were found between the irrigation regimes at different water table level.

Abstract
In a peach orchard (cv. Maria Aurelia) grafted on seedling and GF677, transpiration and absolute fruits growth rate were tested as indexes of temporary water stresses with different water table levels and irrigation regimes. The treatments tested were: shallow and deep water table (85 cm and 225 cm), irrigation with 100% ETe and no irrigation at all. A correlation between transpiration rate and water table levels was not found, although different patterns were obtained for different rootstock and irrigation regimes. Differences in the absolute growth rate were found between the irrigation regimes at different water table level.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
