Abstract:

In order to study the water requirement law of apple trees in semi-arid areas, the soil in the closed fruit tree root region was used as test material to prevent ground evaporation, and the soil moisture content was measured regularly and continuously to estimate the transpiration of fruit trees. The results showed that the main vertical space of soil water absorption of 9-year dwarf interstock fruit tree was 0-60 cm soil layer, and the moisture content of soil layer below 60 cm had no obvious change. The transpiration water consumption of fruit trees was 134 kg/tree in autumn and 104 kg/tree from budding to flowering stage in spring. Therefore, in field management, it is more scientific to determine water-saving irrigation in 0-60 cm wet layer.

Key words: apple tree, water requirement law, soil moisture content, transpiration
