| Abstract/Contents: | Many areas that suffered from the drought of the past several years have received rains recently yet drought damage to plants may continue to show symptoms this year whether or not the drought has ended. This is because the roots can not absorb enough water to maintain the top of the tree. Eventually the root will dry up. Early stages show brown, dead leaf tissue along the leaf margin or between the leaf veins. Leaf dropage is the next stage which can cause sunscald. Pest problems and diseases are the result of this weakened growth. Irrigation is the best way to prevent or minimize damage during drought. Fertilization, shade, wind screens and antidessicants are all other ways to help prevent drought damage. |
