Citrus orchards are irrigated with enough water to meet or exceed demands by crop evapotranspiration (ETc). The research objective was to measure fruit yield and the plant’s physiological responses when the trees were subjected to regulated deficit irrigation (RDI). The study consisted of one control group and three irrigation treatment groups (RDI1, RDI2, and RDI3). Research has shown that applying RDI during the early fruit growth (phase IIA) and fruit ripening (phase III) phases can save water without compromising fruit yield. These two phases occurred from May 16th to July 15th and from October 16th through December 15th, respectively. The first hypothesis was that Navel orange trees can withstand a moderate irrigation reduction below full ETc during phase IIA and III without compromising fruit yield. The second hypothesis was that sap flow (SF) would be a sensitive and continuous indicator of the onset of plant water stress. During phase IIA, RDI1 and RDI3 trees were subjected to 25% ETc; while during phase III, RDI2 and RDI3 trees were subjected to 75% ETc. Pressure chamber, SF sensors, and point dendrometers were used to detect plant water stress. Signal intensity of midday stem and MDS was determined by dividing the average of RDI1 and RDI3 to that of the control. Signal intensity of SF was determined by dividing the average of the control to the average of RDI1 and RDI3. The results indicated that RDI enhanced fruit quality while did not significantly reduce total fruit yield. RDI1 had a 19% total water savings and a 36% reduction in profit. RDI2 had a 2% total water savings and an 18% increase in profit. RDI3 had a 21% total water savings but an 18% reduction in profit. Considering the benefits of water savings and the lost in profits, RDI3 and RDI2 were better irrigation strategies than RDI1. There was inconsistency in plant-based parameters (including stem, SF, and MDS) in showing the effects of RDI. stem had highest signal intensity, following by MDS and SF. Comparing to MDS, SF had higher signal to noises ratio, which suggested that SF was a better water stress indicator than MDS. Because the irrigation was not set up in 2013, signal intensity of SF or MDS was not established to use for irrigation scheduling in 2014. ]]>

My research aims to determine a sensitive and continuous plant-based measure for irrigation scheduling in citrus trees. My two research hypotheses are: 1. Navel orange trees can withstand a moderate irrigation reduction below their full crop evapo-transpiration requirement (ETc); and 2. Sap flow (SF) will be the most sensitive continuous indicator of the onset of plant water stress. Previous research has shown that regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) during the early fruit growth and the fruit ripening phases can save water without compromising yield. I am conducting this research in 2013 – 2015, using Navel orange trees at the Citrus Experiment Station at UC Riverside. The study consists of one control and three treatment groups (RDI1, RDI2, and RDI3). The control receives 100% ETc. during all phases. The RDI1 group receives 25% ETc in late spring and 100% ETc al other times. The RDI2 group receives 100% ETc during late spring and 75% ETc during fall. During the first year, I was unable to apply RDI in the fall. For the second year, 25% ETc in spring was achieved by installing 18 gate vale regulators; and 75% ETc in the fall is currently achieved by installing 18 inline vale regulators. I have been going out to the field twice a month to download data from sap flow sensors and dendrometers and once a month to measure stem water potential. The remaining research tasks are to complete the irrigation treatments this winter and measure orange yield for each treatment.]]>

In summer 2011, I did an summer internship with Dr. Brian McSpadden Gardener, plant pathology department at Ohio State University in Wooster, OH. I assisted Dr. Sun-Jeong Park with the cover crop project. Here is my abstract: Cover crops can affect plant disease pressure and yields in organic vegetable production. The benefits of using cover crops are based on substrate-induced changes of soil chemistry and biology. The first objective of this study is to compare effects of mixed and single species cover crops on plant disease suppression in organic tomatoes. It is hypothesized that tomatoes grown on mixed species cover crops will have a higher biomass and show less disease symptoms than those grown on single cover crop. A randomized complete block design was used; and two different mixed species cover crop (winter rye & hairy vetch and mixed species of hay) and three single species cover crop (winter rye, hairy vetch, and tillage radish) were compared at two separate locations in Wooster, OH. Foliage of tomato plants was artificially inoculated with bacterial pathogen, Xanthomonas euvasicatoria; the percentage of foliage affected by disease was measured. During flowering, height and shoot biomass of plants will be measured. We predict that tomatoes grown on mixed cover crop will be larger and more resistant than tomatoes grown after a single cover crop. Another objective is to isolate bacteria that contribute to soil-borne plant disease suppression promoted by some mixed cover crops. We will collect a diverse bacteria collection from the tomato rhizosphere and screen for strains of Mitsuaria and Burkholderia for testing as biocontrol inoculants to be used in combination with cover crops. Tomato plants from mixed hay tended to have larger biomass; those from rye vetch tended to have less disease symptoms. Double freeze-thaw was a successful screening method for Mitsuaria and Burkholderia.]]>
