The deficit irrigation controlled (RDI) as reducing water in phases of the crops where it is less sensitive to water stress, three different drip irrigation treatments were applied in pear tree crop of Triunfo de Viena variety. Control, irrigated throughout the year at 100% of estimated crop evapotranspiration (ETc); 67%ETc and 55%ETc treatments were irrigated at 67 and 55% of the (ETc), respectively during the period of rapid fruit growth (from December 28, 2011 until February 29, 2012) and at 100% (ETc) during the rest of the season. Reference evapotranspiration (ETo) was determined by the Penman-Monteith, with hourly weather data collected in a nearby meteorological station. During the test total precipitation was 53.8 mm and the water application in the control treatments was 683.0 mm. The results indicate that none of the treatments differed significantly (P≤0.05) from control in terms of yield and quality, resulting in water savings of 33 to 45% in 67%ETc and 55%ETc respectively compared to the control. The vegetative growth of shoots had a behavior defined by a sigmoid curve fitted to a four parameter logistic equation, and it was significantly reduced in the 67%ETc and 55%ETc, respect to control, at the end of the restriction.
El riego deficitario controlado (RDC) como la reducción de agua en fases de los cultivos en los que es menos sensible al estrés hídrico, se aplicó en tres tratamientos de riego por goteo en un cultivo de pera, variedad Triunfo de Viena. Control, regado durante todo el año al 100% de la evapotranspiración del cultivo - ETc, los tratamientos 67%ETc y 55%ETc fueron regados durante la etapa de crecimiento rápido del fruto (28 de diciembre 2011 hasta el 29 de febrero 2012) al 67 y 55% de la ETc, respectivamente, y el resto del año al 100% de la (ETc). La evapotranspiración potencial o de referencia (ETo) se determinó mediante la ecuación de Penman-Monteith, con datos climáticos que fueron recolectados cada hora mediante una estación meteorológica cercana a la parcela. Durante el ensayo la precipitación total fue 53,8 mm y la aplicación de agua en el tratamiento control 683,0 mm. Los resultados indicaron que ninguno de los tratamientos difirió significativamente (P≤0,05) del control en cuanto a producción y calidad, obteniéndose un ahorro de agua del 33 y 45%, respecto al control en los tratamientos 67%ETc y 55%ETc, respectivamente. El crecimiento vegetativo de los brotes tuvo un comportamiento definido por una curva sigmoide ajustada a una ecuación logística de cuatro parámetros, con diferencias significativas entre los tratamientos 67%ETc y 55%ETc, respecto al control, al final de la restricción.
