Pit hardening period is the phenological stage when water stress is recommended in regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) in olive trees. In table olive trees, fruit growth is a very important process which could affect the final profit of the yield. RDI scheduling based on water status measurements...

Trunk diameter fluctuation parameters have been common indicators in water relations experiments. In most fruit trees, these parameters have been reported as very sensitive to drought conditions. However, the great variability of the measurements, amongst other factors, has limited their use in...

No information exits on the effects of water stress on pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) fruits. In this paper, the influence of three irrigation treatments on the physical and chemical characteristics of the fruits of adult pomegranate trees was studied. Control (T0) plants were drip irrigated...
