e saved, but this causes a reduction in growers' gross revenues (Table 2). A more sensibleapproach would be to use a combination of deficit irrigation during Stage I and postharvest, incombination with a slight reduction during the first part of Stage II fruit growth (Table 2). Thelatter strategy would reduce the annual water use by 33 percent (from 600 mm to 400 mm)and probably would have less negative impact on fruit growth than an RDI-SII strategy.Table 2Suggested RDI strategies for different available water supply scenarios from 600 to 400 mmwhen potential ET c is 600 mm.
