Abstract:

Four different regulated deficit irrigation treatments were applied in 8-year-old apple trees in field conditions, in Switzerland. Soil water and plant water status were followed in the different treatments, during about 100 days, from 40 to 140 days after full bloom and are reported. Our results show that in spite of clear differences in water status, there were no important differences in yields.
