“…The performance of an irrigation method can be evaluated by determining how well the irrigation meets the water requirements and how well the applied water is distributed throughout the field (Holzapfel et al, 1985). Water applied for irrigation should: (1) meet the plant water requirements at the time of irrigation; (2) not exceed the available water-storage capacity of the soil profile; (3) avoid leaching in excess of that required to prevent soil salinization and excessive runoff; and (4) minimize erosion and deterioration of the soil structure.…”

“…The performance of an irrigation method is affected by: rate of infiltration of water into the soil; inflow rate of the water; slope of the field; time of irrigation; time of recession of water from the soil surface; soil moisture prior to irrigation; spatial variability of the soil; climatic conditions; and furrow shape. The performance of irrigation parameters have been analyzed by various researchers (Holzapfel et al, 1985;Heermann et al, 1990;Burt et al, 1997;Hsiao et al, 2007). However, problems have been encountered in the effective evaluation of the performance of an irrigation method, owing to difficulties in identifying inadequacies in operation, management or design (Feyen and Zerihun, 1999).…”

“…Requirement distribution efficiency The requirement distribution efficiency (RDE) measures the effects of the distribution of applied water in relation with crop water requirements (Holzapfel et al, 1985) and assumes that the crop yield is not affected seriously by the excess of applied water. It can be expressed mathematically as:…”

“…In addition, TDE may show some effect of excess applied water on yield and relatively the effect of leaching and contamination to clean irrigation. This performance parameter has been tested in an orchard and crops by Holzapfel et al (1985) and in the irrigation project Fondef D02I-1146 (Holzapfel and Arumí, 2010).…”

This study analyzes the relationship between the variables of furrow irrigation and the irrigation performance parameters, crop yield, and deep percolation as a basis for furrow irrigation design and management. Application efficiency (AE), requirement efficiency (RE), requirement distribution efficiency (RDE), total distribution efficiency (TDE), and furrow irrigation management, operation, and design variables (inflow discharge, furrow length, and irrigation cutoff time) were correlated. The relationship between performance irrigation parameters and relative yield was also examined. In addition, environmental aspects related to leaching and runoff were also presented for each of the parameters. Study results indicate that increasing the length of the furrow reduces RE, RDE, and TDE values. However, an increase in inflow discharge and cutoff time increases efficiency. In contrast, an increase in furrow length increases AE while an increase in inflow discharge and cutoff time reduces it. Unlike AE, RE, RDE, and TDE parameters are well-correlated with relative yield. TDE and AE are recommended parameters for the design, management, and operation of furrow irrigation systems, in order to establish good irrigation practices, and to prevent contamination.

Physiological responses of kiwifruit plants to exogenous ABA under drought conditions

We studied the physiological responses to abscisic acid (ABA) when 2-year-old potted plants of kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa) were grown under moisture stress. Leaves treated with 60 lM exogenous ABA through various means had less severe damage when water was limiting, and sprayed plants showed relatively greater drought resistance. This indicates that ABA improves tolerance in kiwifruit, reducing membrane permeability and enhancing the activities of antioxidant enzymes, e.g., peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and glutathione reductase (GR). Exposure to ABA led to higher levels of antioxidants, such as ABA and glutathione (GSH), while altering the amounts of endogenous hormones-ABA, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), and Gibberellin (GA)-and organic oxalate, malate, and citrate in the leaves. Although daily applications of ABA were more effective than a single spray event, the effect of treatment, i.e., avoiding tissue damage and increasing plant resistance, was more apparent on Day 4 than on Day 6. No difference in response was apparent between control plants (regular irrigation) and those sprayed with ABA on Day 4 of the drought period.
