Conteúdo: | At  the cellular and tissue level, a decrease in turgor causec by sub-optimal moisture levels is of primary importance in preventing the achievement of full growth potential. Similar effects regarding the growth of individual organs such as leaves, fruits and branches are also well documented. The results of many long-term irrigation trials have shown consistently that sub-optimally irrigated or partially stressed tress did not grow to the same size as those to which water was more optimally available, while total productivity (cumulative) of the tree was not affected commensurately. Such trees proved to be more compact - "thrifty" - with a tendency to have a higher "fruit per unit of canopy volume" ratio, a quality which is highly desirable where cultural andparticularly harvesting efficiency are of a high order of priority. A short period of moisture stress during the irrigation season has been found to be highly effective in initiating and promoting vegetative growth flushes on trees where none were "normally" expected. The various aspects of an increased capability for affecting vegetative flushing, as well as overall tree canopy size on a long-tern basis, are discussed in relation to yields and fruit quality parameters.
