ABSTRACT
Effect of wates stress on xylem water potential recovery of poted peach trees

Gabriel Sellés van S.1 y André Berger2
 

Small peach trees, grown in pot were grafted in two different rootstocks, Franc (GF 305) and Damas, and submmitted to different levels of water stress. The kinetics of xylem water potential recovery was measured after irrigation. The kinetics was affected by the nature of the rootstock when the water stress was middle to high.

Keywords: stem water potential recovery, rootstock.
