Abstract
Abstract Peach trees ( Prunus persica (L.) Batsch cv. Redglobe) were trickle-irrigated at 3 rates using open pan evaporation as a basis for calculating theoretical irrigation needs from 1973-1976 beginning when trees were 6-years-old. Although above average rainfall was received about 65% of the time, trickle irrigation (1½ times theoretical needs) increased yield per tree, fruit size, number of fruit buds per tree, and trunk diameter over non-irrigated trees. Trickle irrigation at 1½ the calculated rate increased average yield per tree, fruit size, and trunk diameters over trees sprinkle-irrigated once before harvest.
