S12 - Session O3 - Impact of mulch and irrigation treatment on yield and fruit size of 'Bellise' sweet cherry over nine years

Authors: Martin Penzel * 30 mm in all treatments was highest in 2013 (26.4+-5.7%), where precipitation of 288.7 mm was highest during the whole experiment, in comparison to all other years (3.5+-3.2%). The results demonstrated, that mulch treatments without any additional irrigation can lead to similar yields and fruit quality distributions as irrigation treatment in sweet cherry.
