Water use dynamics of young and mature apple trees planted in South African orchards: a case study of the Golden Delicious and Cripps’ Pink cultivars
Ntshidi, Zanele; Dzikiti, Sebinasi; Mazvimavi, Dominic (Copernicus Publications, 2018)Apple orchards have previously been bearing 60–80 t ha-1 at most. However in recent years yield has increased to more than 100 t ha-1. There is need to understand the water requirements of the high yielding orchards, ...
