Modelling water utilization patterns in apple orchards with varying canopy sizes and different growth stages in semi-arid environments
(Elsevier, 2021)
Accurate estimates of orchard evapotranspiration (ET) and its components are important for precise irrigation scheduling, irrigation system designs, and optimal on-farm water allocation particularly in water-limited ...
Contribution of understorey vegetation to evapotranspiration partitioning in apple orchards under Mediterranean climatic conditions in South Africa
(Elsevier, 2021)
Orchard evapotranspiration (ET) is a complex flux which has been the subject of many studies. It often includes transpiration from the trees, cover crops and weeds, evaporation from the soil, mulches and other orchard ...
Water use of selected cover crop species commonly grown in South African fruit orchards and their response to drought stress
(Elsevier, 2021)
Cover crops are widely planted in orchards for a variety of reasons. These include suppressing soil erosion, nutrient cycling, phytosanitary purposes, general orchard aesthetics etc. However, there is need to balance these ...
