Water-Stressed Loquat Trees Need More Time and Heat to Ripen Their Fruits

Water-Stressed Loquat Trees Need More Time and Heat to Ripen Their Fruits

To determine if water-stressed trees need more time and heat to mature their fruits, we compared chronological and thermal time from bloom to harvest among control fully-irrigated ‘Algerie’ loquat trees and trees suffering prior-to-bloom deficit irrigation (DI). Heat requirement calculation was perf...
