“…Salinity level of the groundwater and irrigation water was 20 dS m −1 (according to the results of Talebnejad and Sepaskhah, 2015) and was obtained by adding NaCl and CaCl 2 to the tap water in equal proportion. Similar level of salinity for groundwater and irrigation water was used because the saline groundwater is usually used as irrigation water in the central parts of Iran (Parvizi et al, 2014). Chemical analysis of water is shown in Table 2.…”

“…Water shortages greatly limit apple growth in the hill and gully region within the Loess Plateau (Zhang et al, 2017), but there are limited data on the impact of low soil moisture on fruit quality and yield during the blooming and fruit-expansion stages of apple trees (Zydlik et al, 2004;Leib et al, 2006;Nemeskéri, 2007;Naor et al, 2008;Talluto et al, 2008). Artificial irrigation is an effective way to improve water supply within this region, and many water-conserving methods have been proposed, including surface drip irrigation (Parvizi et al, 2014;Neilsen et al, 2015), deficit border irrigation (Bianco and Francaviglia, 2012;Faci et al, 2014), alternate partial root-zone irrigation (Zegbe and Serna-Peréz, 2012;Villagrán Deoses et al, 2015) and subsurface drip irrigation (Zhao et al, 2014;Chenafi et al, 2016). Surface drip irrigation (SDI) has proven to be more effective than traditional irrigation methods (Raina et al, 2013).…”

Within the Chinese Loess Plateau, water resources are scarce and irrigation efficiency is a challenging issue. Traditional surface drip irrigation (SDI) methods have failed to improve irrigation efficiency and reduce surface evaporation in the region. An easy‐to‐install and practicable root‐zone injection irrigation (RII) method, with a low risk of emitter clogging and which uses subsurface infiltration‐promoting apparatuses (SIPA) to deliver water directly to the root zone, was designed and tested in an apple orchard over 3 years in northern Shaanxi, China. In the 0–0.6 m soil layer (where the apple roots are concentrated), the RII method produced consistently higher soil water content than the SDI method over all three growing seasons. The soil water content was consistently higher than 60% of field capacity, thus meeting the water requirements of fruit‐bearing apple trees. In addition, the RII method alleviated soil desiccation, significantly increased apple yields and improved fruit quality compared with the SDI method using the same volume of irrigation water. Both irrigation efficiency and water‐use efficiency were improved with the RII method. These results provide a theoretical basis for the utilization of the RII irrigation method in apple orchards in semi‐arid regions, which may improve water conservation and the sustainability of apple production. © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…Studies on the response of pomegranate trees to PRD have been performed by Parvizi et al (2014Parvizi et al ( , 2016 and Parvizi and Sepaskhah (2015). These authors compared the following strategies: SDI (50% and 75% of ETc), irrigating only one side of trees (north) throughout the growing season and keeping the other side (south) of the tree dry, PRD (50% and 75% of ETc) and FI, maintaining both sides of the tree wetted.…”

(2017) b s t r a c tWater scarcity in Mediterranean climate areas will be progressively aggravated by climate change, population increase and urban, tourism and industrial activities. To protect water resources and their integrity for future use and to improve biodiversity, besides following advanced deficit irrigation strategies in fruit cultivation, attention could well be directed towards what are at present underused plant materials able to withstand deficit irrigation with minimum impact on yield and fruit quality. To this end, the state of the art as regards deficit irrigation strategies and the response of some very interesting emerging fruit crops [jujube (Zizyphus jujuba Mill.), loquat (Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.), pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) and pomegranate (Punica granatum L.)] are reviewed. The strengths and weaknesses of deficit irrigation strategies and the mechanisms developed by these emerging fruit crops in the face of water stress are discussed. The response of these crops to deficit irrigation, with special attention paid to the effect on yield but also on fruit quality and health-related chemical compounds, was analysed in order to assess their suitability for saving water in Mediterranean semiarid agrosystems and to analyze their potential role as alternatives to currently cultivated fruit crops with higher water requirements. Finally, the factors involved in establishing an identity brand (hydroSOS) to protect fruits obtained under specific DI conditions are discussed.
