Over-tree Microsprinkler Irrigation for Spring Freeze Protection of Peaches [PDF]
“The feasibility of using an over-tree microsprinkler irrigation system for spring freeze protection of `Loring' peach trees [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] was evaluated under a range of meteorological conditions during Winter 1988-89.

A sensitive Phytophthora cinnamomi‐specific qPCR assay was developed to show that macadamia tree roots from a new root flush are more colonized by the pathogen than suberized roots, and that colonization tends to be higher in autumn and winter months. Abstract Phytophthora cinnamomi is an important soilborne pathogen causing root rot and stem cankers ...

Soil crusting (surface sealing) is widespread and serious in ecotouristic game parks and reserves in southern Africa, and especially South Africa. In this study, mineral soil crusts were found to be the problem in the Dinokeng Game Reserve (DGR), South Africa. Large areas of bare soil crusted areas were found in this reserve. The cause of this crusting

Microsprinklers wet larger soil volume; boost almond yield, tree growth
In the Arbuckle area of the Sacramento Valley, a 22-acre orchard was planted in 1990 with four almond varieties (‘Nonpareil’, ‘Butte’, ‘Carmel’ and ‘Monterey’).

Costs of pressurized orchard irrigation vary with system design
The costs of solid-set sprinkler and microirrigation (drip, micro-sprinkler and minisprinkler) systems are a major factor in the adoption of these irrigation technologies.

Under- and Overtree Microsprinkler Irrigation for Frost Protection of Peaches [PDF]
Spring frost events reduce fruit production in the southeastern United States more than any other factor, with some losses occurring in 5 out of 7 years. Orchard heaters, wind machines, and overhead irrigation are sound methods of reducing losses, but their relatively high cost is a major deterrent for fruit growers (Castaldi, 1990)
