Impact of irrigation during flowering and fruit growth on fruit yield and quality of the cactus Opuntia spp.
<p>Most plantations of cactus pear are not irrigated in Morocco and fruits are tiny. The impacts of irrigation during flowering (FLO) and fruit growth (FRG) on fruit yield and quality were monitored along two years on three varieties of cactus pear. In 2011, irrigation treatments were: T1 (0 m...
