摘要: The main aim was to provide theoretical support for scientific regulation of the water and precision irrigation in orchards. This study focused on the water status indices of trees to soil water stress, and their relationship to water balance of the tree body. The results showed that stem maximum daily shrinkage (MDS) was the most sensitive to soil water stress, followed by midday stem water potential (psi(stem)). MDS also had obvious response to reference evapotranspiration (ET0, R = 0.6759, P < 0.01, N = 62). The psi(stem) was also sensitive to soil water stress and atmosphere water status, which was negatively correlated to ET0 (R = -0.47071, P < 0.05, N = 30). Relative MDSr and relative soil water potential (psi(rsoil)) was highly correlated (R = 0.6582, P < 0.01, N = 30); and correlation between relative midday stem potential (psi(rstem)) and psi(rsoil) was very significant (R = 0.6143, P < 0.01, N = 30). Moreover, MDS was measured in succession and recorded automatically, but so far it has been difficult automatically to measure either leaf or stem potential. The other tree water status indices like predawn water potential (psi(pd)), daily growth of stem diameter (DG), stomatal conductance (g(s)), had different response to water stress. But, in general, their response was not very sensitive to change in soil water potential. In conclusion, MDS is an optimal tool to aid for irrigation in orchards, followed by psi(stem).
