Impact of soil water regimes and partial root-zone drying in field-grown papaya in semi-arid conditions

Abstract This study aimed to evaluate in the papaya Tainung genotype, the effects of partial root-zone drying (PRD) technique on soil water regimes by using different frequencies of shifting irrigation-side of plant row and the effects of PRD technique on (1) crop agronomic performance, (2) titratab...
