dc.description.abstract Apple orchards have previously been bearing 60–80 t ha-1 at most. However in recent years yield has increased to more than 100 t ha-1. There is need to understand the water requirements of the high yielding orchards, given that high crop loads are associated with high water use rates. The aim of this study was to quantify the water requirements of young and mature unstressed apple orchards. We also assess the impact of climate variables on transpiration rates. en_US
