2019, Scientia HorticulturaeCitation Excerpt :Root pruning contributes to improving tree root and shoot performance, and physiological responses (Geisler and Ferree, 1984). Thus, tree growth responses and fruit quality were highly affected by root pruning in apple (Abod and Webster, 1990; Elfving et al., 1991; Ferree, 1992; Miller, 1995; Khan et al., 1998; Yoon et al., 2005), black spruce (Smith and Greenwood, 1995), grape (Poni et al., 1992), peach (Choi, 2004), pear (Asín et al., 2007; Wang et al., 2014), pecan (McCraw and Smith, 1998), persimmon (Choi et al., 2005), red raspberry (Darnell et al., 2008), wild cherry and cherry plum (Symeonidou and Buckley, 1999), and ornamental shrubs (Blanusa et al., 2007). In addition, soil depth and distance from the trunk for root pruning were strongly associated with tree performance in ten year-old peach trees (Choi, 2004).
An application of the water footprint assessment to optimize production of crops irrigated with saline water: A scenario assessment with HYDRUS
2018, Agricultural Water ManagementCitation Excerpt :This difference was more obvious for low to moderate salinity stresses while NU was slightly higher under PRD than under DI under the high osmotic stress (SR ≥ 7 dS m−1), accounting for 3–6.6%, 0.7–1.1%, and 0.2-0.3% for low, moderate, and high water stress conditions, respectively. A substantially better performance of PRD may be attributed to the higher availability of N in the rooting zone, which may be caused by the frequent wetting and drying cycles (Nourbakhsh and Karimian Eghbal, 1997; Vale et al., 2007; Wang et al., 2010) or by the improved root growth and the extension of the root zone to deeper soil layers (Fort et al., 1997; Sepaskhah and Kamgar-Haghighi, 1997; Liang et al., 1996; Poni et al., 1992). Fig. 5 relates the relative yield (Ya/Yp) to the salinity rate under various NRs and ILs.
Two-dimensional modeling of nitrogen and water dynamics for various N-managed water-saving irrigation strategies using HYDRUS
2017, Agricultural Water ManagementCitation Excerpt :This is in agreement with findings of other researchers who believed that more frequent wetting and drying cycles under PRD would increase the N availability and, consequently, N uptake (Nourbakhsh and Karimian Eghbal., 1997; Vale et al., 2007; Wang et al., 2010). Some other researchers also observed that the root systems extend to deeper layers under PRD, which induces the initiation and growth of secondary roots, which improves the ability of the plant to absorb both water and nutrients (Fort et al., 1997; Sepaskhah and Kamgar-Haghighi, 1997; Liang et al., 1996; Poni et al., 1992). Despite the lower movement of both water and NO3−N below the surface soil layers when IL is decreased to 70% (Fig. 6), plant N uptake under DI was considerably lower than under PRD when 70 ≤ IL ≤ 100 (Fig. 5).
Partial root-zone drying irrigation in orange orchards: Effects on water use and crop production characteristics
2017, European Journal of AgronomyCitation Excerpt :However, the technique has been scarcely studied in citrus (Melgar et al., 2010): overall, few details are available about the soil water distribution, citrus growth response to PRD, and on its effect on citrus plant physiological processes. Among the available studies on PRD, Poni et al. (1992) found that the water requirements in the studied orchards could be satisfied by supplying water to only half of the root-zone. Intrigliolo and Castel (2009) indicated the difficulty of successfully employing the PRD for grape with a drip system in heavy and deep soil.
