The present study reviews the research on the FAO56 crop coefficients of fruit trees and vines performed over the past twenty years. The main objective was to update information and extend tabulated single (K c ) and basal (K cb ) standard crop coefficients. The selection and analysis of the literature for this review have been done to consider only studies that adhere to FAO56 method, computing the reference ET with the FAO Penman-Monteith ET o equation and field measuring crop ET with proved accuracy. The crops considered refer to vine fruit crops, berries and hops, temperate climate evergreen fruit trees, temperate climate deciduous fruit trees and, tropical and subtropical fruit crops. Papers satisfying the conditions expressed above, and that studied the crops under pristine or appropriate eustress conditions, were selected to provide for standard K c and K cb data. Preference was given to studies reporting on the fraction of ground cover (f c ), crop height (h), planting density, crop age and adopted training systems. The K c and K cb values obtained from the selected literature generally show coherence relative to the crop biophysical characteristics and reflect those characteristics, mainly f c , h and training systems. The ranges of reported K c and K cb values were grouped according to crop density, particularly f c and h, and were compared with FAO56 (Allen et al., 1998) previously tabulated K c and K cb values, as well as by Allen and Pereira (2009) and Jensen and Allen (2016), which lead to define update indicative standard K c and K cb values. These values are aimed for use in crop water requirement computations and modeling for irrigation planning and scheduling, thus also aimed at supporting improved water use and saving in orchards and vines.

“…The increase in 'Houraishi' shoot weight with plant density of over 400 trees per 1000 m 2 was suppressed after the third year. It is well known that plant growth is affected by plant density, and some studies showed that fig trees are no exception (e.g., Chithiraichelvan et al, 2017;Hosomi et al, 2013;Kumar et al, 2014;Mano et al, 2011). Many plant species obey the "Law of constant final yield" (Kira et al, 1953), which predicts that the total (or partial) biomass of an individual plant growing densely is suppressed with plant age and eventually the biomass yield (the weight per unit area) reaches a constant final value.…”

This study aimed to determine the optimal shoot vigor to produce large fruit and high yields of the fig (Ficus carica L.) cultivars 'Masui Dauphine' and 'Houraishi'. Fruit production of the two cultivars was compared for seven years on shoots of various vigor induced by different plant densities: 20, 61, 400, 667, and 2000 trees per 1000 m 2 , and all shoots occupied equal-sized basal areas (0.5 m 2 for each shoot). Individual shoot weight (shoot weight) and number of superfluous shoots were greater in the trees grown at higher plant density. The greater shoot growth under higher plant density was consistent for seven years for 'Masui Dauphine', but such an increase was suppressed after the third year for 'Houraishi' trees. The relationship between fruit production and shoot weight showed that fruit maturation did not last until late autumn and the number of fruits harvested (fruit number) declined on the shoots smaller than approximately 0.15 kg on 'Masui Dauphine' trees and by approximately 0.8 kg in 'Houraishi' trees. In early autumn, however, the fruit number was larger on the smaller shoots than that on the larger shoots in 'Houraishi' trees. The annual means of individual fruit weight (fruit weight) were negatively correlated with shoot weight from the third to seventh years for 'Houraishi' trees, but only for the fifth year for 'Masui Dauphine' trees. The fruit yield per shoot (fruit yield) was positively correlated with shoot weight based on the fruit number. However, the correlation coefficients between fruit yield and shoot weight were lower in 'Houraishi' trees because the fruit weight was negatively correlated with the shoot weight. Relatively large shoots in a compact tree area will be useful for 'Masui Dauphine' figs to avoid fruit yield decline. Conversely, smaller shoots in a large tree area will be useful for 'Houraishi' figs to produce more and larger fruit in early season of harvesting.

“…A média de crescimento semanal foi de 4,56 cm. Kumar et al (2014) avaliando o espaçamento de plantio e poda em figueira, observaram que plantas cultivadas em maiores densidades apresentaram maior crescimento de ramos, o que pode ser explicado pela necessidade de luz das plantas, que acabam crescendo mais em altura em busca de luz para realizar da fotossíntese. Villalobos et al (2015) estudando crescimento fenológico de figueira em diferentes adensamentos de plantio também observaram maior comprimento de ramos para as plantas submetidas a maiores densidades.…”

The objective of this work was to verify the influence of planting density on productivity and fruit quality of the fig tree. The design was used in three blocks, the plants of the cultivar Roxo de Valinhos were submitted to three planting spacings: 5 x 0.5 m; 5 x 1.0 m; and 5 x 1.5 m. The evaluated characteristics were: length of branches; average weekly growth of branches; fruit size; average fruit weight;soluble solids (°Brix); yield of mature fruits; productivity of green fruits; accumulated productivity; and dry mass of fruits.The length of the branches was not influenced by planting spacing, the plants conducted at lower densities presented higher productivity, both of green fruits and accumulated productivity.Plants submitted to lower planting density produced fruits with higher dry matter, but these were smaller in size, but without significant difference for those submitted to lower density. It wasconcluded that productivity is directly affected by fig planting density, but not all the qualitative aspects of the fruits were affected.
