Figure 6Relation between relative <strong>yield</strong> and relative ET c for peach. The black continuous line representsthe production function under no effective RDI irrigation strategies and the dotted black linerepresents the possible production function under effective RDI (data from Girona et al., 2002;Girona et al., 2005; Fereres, unpublished; and, Rufat and Villar, unpublished).Relative <strong>yield</strong>1.21.11.00.90.80.70.6 0.7 0.8 0.9 1.0 1.1Relative ETcC (S)C (D)RDI-SII (S)RDI-SII (D)RDI- PH (S)RDI-PH (D)RDI-SII- PH (S)RDI-SII- PH (D)C (Com)RDI-SII (Com)RDI-SIII (Com)RDI-SIII (1)RDI-SIII (2)CExces SIIIC (Deep S)RDI (Deep S)SDI (Deep S)Table 2FruitgrowthstageSuggested limits of midday stem-<strong>water</strong> potential for late-season cultivars.Late-season cultivar% of ET c Suggested limits of stem-<strong>water</strong>potential at middayShallow soils (%) Deep soils (%)I 100 100 -0.9 MPaII 65 35 -1.8 MPaIII 100 100 -1.1 MPaPh 80 50 -1.8 MPaTable 3FruitgrowthstageSuggested limits of midday stem-<strong>water</strong> potential for early-season cultivars (PH: post-harvest stage).Early-season cultivar% of ET c Suggested limits of stem-<strong>water</strong>potential at middayShallow soils (%) Deep soils (%)I 100 100 -0.9 MPaIII 100 100 -1.0 MPaEarly Ph 50 35 -1.8 MPaLate Ph 80 80 -1.2 MPa ** To prevent next year crop failure404crop <strong>yield</strong> <strong>response</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>water</strong>
