摘要
In a study carried out at Viterbo, 9 drip irrigation treatments and 3 fertilization treatments were compared in a split-plot experiment. Water deficits were imposed by reducing irrigation volumes to 50% or 75% of crop evapotranspiration in 2 growth periods: before or after fruit set. Irrigation deficit in the 1(st) growth period reduced the number of flowers leading to a decrease in the number of fruits and in the marketable yield. Water deficits improved the quality of fruits increasing soluble solids and acidity. Reducing irrigation by 25% before fruit set and by as much as 50% in the fruit development and ripening stages resulted in no significant decrease of soluble solid yield. Fertilization affected mainly plane vegetative growth, increasing LAI and biomass.
