Using Deficit Irrigation Strategies and Organic Mulches for Improving Yield and Water Productivity of Mango under Dry Environment Conditions

Many techniques have been and are being made to find alternatives water-saving practices. Among them, Partial root drying (PRD), one effective approach, plays a major role in reducing the harmful effects of water deficit stress. Field experiments were carried out on mango trees for private farm Egypt over course two years, 2020/2021 2021/2022, an area with sandy soil, hot summer conditions, cold rainy winter conditions. In experiment that was out, experimental design included using different irrigation strategies (I1, 100% full “FI”; I2, 75% FI; I3, 50% I4 FI) main plot amounts organic mulch soil (L0, no layers mulch, used as control; L1, single layer mulch; L2, L3, three mulch) subplots order inspect impact treatments yield, productivity, energy usage under arid To meet study’s objective, field at farm. Our results demonstrate general decrease stress salt accumulation inside root-zone PRD L3. During 2021/2022 seasons strategy increased fruit yields by 3.7 7.3% productivity 51.9 53.1%, respectively, compared control treatment (I1) while amount applied 50%. The along mulching showed superior respect increasing productivity. general, can be good technique save up enhancing ultimately improving climatic Thus, it may prove adaptation current future shortage scenarios involving climate change.
