Effects of regulated deficit irrigation and kaolin foliar application on nut quality parameters of almond (Prunus dulcis (Mill.) D.A. Webb).

Reducing the amount of irrigation water applied to almonds contributes to the sustainability of production without negatively affecting quality and even improving some quality parameters. In general, the foliar application of kaolin did not show significant differences in the evaluated morphological parameters. However, in terms of chemical composition, kaolin led to an increase in the concentration of linoleic acid and sucrose. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
