12th Symposium on Apricot Culture and Decline, Avignon, France, 10 - 14 September 2001, pp.709-712
Water consumption in relation with the irrigation system has been investigated on 'Hacihaliloglu' apricot cultivar in Malatya Research Institute. The observed trees were planted as 10x10. The effects of drip, surface irrigations and mini sprinkler were analysed on vegetative development by measurements of trunk, vigour, pruning residue, lengths of shoots and young trees. No differences were observed on blooming time whatever the irrigation systems.
