Abstract: | As climate change is contributing to increase the pressure on available fresh water, there is a need to develop strategies to reduce the irrigation volumes, without adverse effects on crop productivity. Against this background, a study was conducted in South Tyrol (Italy) with the aim of characterizing apple short-term transpiration responses to progressive soil water depletion using sap flow sensors in combination with a weighing system to estimate the whole tree transpiration (T |
