Evaluates how different irrigation depths affect soil moisture and apricot plant growth, suggesting efficient irrigation strategies for better water management.

Key Points

The central aim is to assess how varying irrigation depths impact soil moisture and the growth of apricot nursery plants.
Evaluated two apricot cultivars under four irrigation regimes (0, 10, 20, 30 mm) in northwestern Romania.
Monitored soil moisture using tensiometers.
Measured vegetative growth by assessing total branch length.
Irrigation significantly improved soil water availability, especially during dry periods.
Treatments with moderate irrigation (10–20 mm) provided growth similar to higher irrigation (30 mm).
Higher irrigation inputs showed only small benefits for growth compared to moderate levels.
