Water Regime Monitoring of the Royal Walnut (<i>Juglans regia</i> L.) Using Sap Flow and Dendrometric Measurements

Changes in the distribution of annual rainfall totals, together with the increase in temperature over the last 40 years, are causing more frequent periods of drought, and plants are more often exposed to water stress. The aim of this study was to monitor the effect of different water regimes (irriga...

The sap flow data in the flowering period of the irrigated variant were slightly higher at 150 g·h<sup>−1</sup> (35.62%) than non-irrigated. Dendrometric differences were more significant when the difference between the variants was more than 1.5 mm.
