Abstract:
      This study aims to explore the influence of different irrigation water (W1,32 L; W2,48 L; W3, 64 L; W4,80 L) on stem flow rate of four years jujube tree, using Flow-32 package type stem to determine the stem flow rate and a HOBO microclimate instrument to monitor solar radiation, temperature, air humidity and wind speed and other meteorological data. The results showed that: Under different irrigation water, jujube stem flow rate exhibited an unimodal type curve, increasing with the increase of irrigation water and showing average peak of 516.63, 819.04 g·h-1 and 974.86 g·h-1 for W1, W2 and W3, respectively; Cumulative dynamics of stem flow showed a clear “S” shape, with W1, W2, W3 and W4 having the value of 4.98 L and 7.02 L and 9.10 L and 8.63 L, respectively. Correlation analysis revealed that flow rate was positively related with the solar radiation, temperature and wind speed at significant level, the highest correlation coefficients existing with the sun's radiation. By contrast, air humidity was negatively correlated with sap flow.
