Efficient water-saving irrigation theory based on the response of water and fruit quality for improving quality of economic crops

Abstract

The traditional insufficient irrigation theory is based on less yield reduction or more gross yield and benefit by utilizing the water production function.In this paper,an integrated theory of efficient water-saving irrigation for improving quality of economic crops based on response of water and fruit quality was established.Physiological and biological mechanism for response of water and fruit quality was analyzed.The recent status of response of water and fruit quality was summarized.The way for implementing the efficient water-saving irrigation for improving quality was discussed,and some important scientific topics which should be studied were also suggested.
