Q

FLOWER INDUCTION

A

  2. durian, rambutan, citrus, lanzones, coffee
17
Q

METHODS TO DETERMINE IRRIGATION SCHEDULES

A
  1. available soil moisture
  2. evapotranspiration rate
  3. visual symptoms of plants
  4. feel of soil
  5. soil-cum-sand mini plot technique
18
Q

IRRIGATION SCHEDULE DETERMINATION: SOIL MOISTURE

A
  1. gravimetry: oven drying and computing for soil moisture content
  2. tensiometer: measure water potential; inversely proportional to amount of available water
19
Q

THRESHOLD LEVEL IN ESTIMATING AVAILABLE SOIL MOISTURE

A
  1. 50% of available water
20
Q

IRRIGATION SCHEDULE DETERMINATION: EVAPOTRANSPIRATION

A
  1. use of evaporative pan
  2. applied over short time intervals
21
Q

IRRIGATION SCHEDULE DETERMINATION: VISUAL SYMPTOM

A
  1. temporary wilting
  2. color of foliage
22
Q

IRRIGATION SCHEDULE DETERMINATION: SOIL FEEL

A
  1. sandy: dry; doesn’t form ball
  2. loam: crumbly; particles hold together
  3. clay: pliable; forms ball; doesn’t form ribbon
23
Q

IRRIGATION SCHEDULE DETERMINATION: SOIL-CUM-SAND TECHNIQUE

A
  1. choose 2-3 hills from representative section
  2. dig pits of 1 cubic meter
  3. add 5% sand to soil and return mixture to pit
  4. plant seedlings
  5. limiting soil moisture: wilting of seedlings 2-3 days ahead
24
