Impact of water stress on citrus yield

Abstract: Water shortage is becoming a severe problem in arid and semi-arid regions worldwide, reducing the availability of agricultural land and water resources. Deficit irrigation strategies can improve water-use efficiency and the sustainability of agro-ecosystems, although it is important to model the effects on yield loss due to irrigation water restrictions. This work estimates the water production function in citrus trees, determining the relationship between plant water stress and yield depression, as well as es… Show more

“…Interestingly, crop load and especially cropping efficiency were similar in all treatments, including DI. This general lack of irrigation effect agrees with previous observations on drip-irrigated 'Tarocco' [42,59] and navel oranges under PRD [60], and 'Navelina' oranges under DI [25], but is apparently inconsistent with other studies in citrus where yields were reduced by deficit irrigation [21,23,36,44,61].…”

“…Moreover, most of the orchards are not only located in slopes of varying gradient but also away from water source. Water stress in citrus reduces the yield considerably (30 %) [33]. Under Drujegang condition, the driest months of the year (January, February and March) coincides with flowering stage while delay in onset of monsoon (dry period-April through May) and rising temperature (28-36 °C) coincide with fruit cell division stage.…”

“…Citrus fruit is one of the highest yield fruits in the world with an annual output of 10 9 kg. It is the third largest international trade of agricultural products in the world, after wheat and corn (Garcia‐Tejero, Hugo Duran‐Zuazo, Arriaga‐Sevilla, & Luis Muriel‐Fernandez, ). Gannan planting area is about 1.26 × 10 9 m 2 and its output of Gannan Newhall navel orange has reached 1.5 × 10 9 kg in 2013, which ranked the first in navel orange acreage worldwide (Xiao, Yan, Peng, & Fang, ).…”
