Abstract : Trees irrigated to field capacity at 7-day intervals from March to May produced higher yields (287.53 kg/plant) than trees irrigated at 14- or 21-day intervals (177.45 and 96.25 kg/plant, respectively). Fruit mineral content (particularly K) was also higher in trees irrigated at 7-day intervals.
