Well-watered citrus tested in cold-acclimating temperatures

Researchers studied well-watered citrus to determine changes in water relations during cold acclimation, independent of drought stress. Potted sweet orange and Satsuma mandarin trees were exposed to progressively lower, non-freezing temperatures to promote cold acclimation. Results indicated that water relations of citrus during cold acclimation vary from those known to occur as a result of drought stress. The results could challenge traditional measures of plant water status in irrigation sched...
