Water use and irrigation management of pomegranate trees - A review

Theresa Volschenk

Agricultural Water Management, 2020, vol. 241, issue C

Abstract: Global warming-induced climatological changes, limited water resources and water restrictions for agriculture during drought force producers to invest in crops more suited to the potential future climate, such as drought-tolerant pomegranate trees. Skilful management of limited and poorer quality water resources is critical to optimize production and fruit quality for a total farm unit and requires appropriate knowledge regarding the crop. The review focuses on irrigation methods, water requirements of the crop, water use efficiency and productivity and water management strategies under limited water supply (irrigation and orchard management).
