Summary

DELICIOUS AND GOLDEN DELICIOUS APPLES ON SEEDLING ROOTSTOCK WERE GROWN WITH TRICKLE AND SPRINKLER IRRIGATION. STORAGE LIFE WAS NOT INFLUENCED CONSISTENTLY BY IRRIGATION. WHERE DIFFERENCES DID OCCUR, THE FRUIT FROM TRICKLE-IRRIGATED TREES WAS SOFTER AFTER STORAGE. CHANGES IN FRUIT QUALITY SIMILAR TO THOSE OBSERVED IN TRICKLE-IRRIGATED TREES WERE PRODUCED BY IMPOSING SIMILAR MOISTURE DEFICITS ON APPLE TREES, AS MEASURED BY LEAF WATER POTENTIAL.
