RESUMO

An experiment was carried out for three years (2004/05 to 2006/07) on a just implanted peach grove, in the south of Uruguay. Five irrigation treatments were applied: without irrigation (T1), drippers of 1.6 L h-1 at 0.4 m (T2), drippers of 4 L h-1 at 1 m (T3), microjets of 21 L h-1 at 5 m (T4) and drippers of 2 L h-1 at 1 m, two lines by row (T5), following a Latin square experimental design. The experimental plots had seven trees in a plantation frame of 2.5 x 4.5 m. In all treatments with irrigation, the same water dose was applied, in order to fulfill 100% of the ETc. The percentage of wetted soil volume was 16, 18, 22 and 44% for treatments T2, T3, T4 and T5 respectively. Regarding variables, prune weight, foliar and xilematic water potential, stomata conductance, fruit growth, yield and average size of the fruits, the treatments with irrigation were not statistically different, but all of them were significantly different from the treatment without irrigation (p < 0.05). No response to the percentage of wet soil among the irrigated treatments was detected, for all the analyzed variables. The hypothesis that the effects of these treatments, upon a perennial crop would be cumulative, and would possibly show up in the following years, is considered..
