Physiological responses of orange trees to permanent groundcover vegetation types
01/Jun/2008
The presence of a groundcover in-between tree rows in orange orchards can affect the water uptake and physiology of the orange trees. The objective of this study was to characterize the relationships between the physiological variables of orange leaf and soil water content in a Paleudults in groundcover management systems with bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum), leguminous perennial peanut (Arachis pintoi) and spontaneous vegetation. The study was performed in in an experimental “Pêra” orange orchard established in 1993 in Alto Paraná, northwestern […]
