Selected water-relations parameters were examined on a diurnal basis for apple, apricot, grape, olive and peach grown under common conditions in Amman, Jordan. The study objective was to determine if there were differences in water-relations characteristics that could be useful for the prediction of water use by these crop plants at various sites in Jordan or in similar arid areas with limited water.Transpiration was greatest in apple, followed by peach. Apricot, olive and grape had similar transpiration rates, and these species lost less water per unit leaf area than peach or apple. Apple and olive reached maximum leaf conductance in the afternoon, while peach and apricot had maxima at mid-day; grape had the earliest maximum leaf conductance. Grape had the highest midday xylem pressure potential and olive the lowest, with apple, apricot and peach being intermediate. Apple and olive appeared to have the most rapid return to pre-dawn xylem pressure potential. Estimates of the liquid pathway resistance to water flow were lowest in apple and highest in olive. Results suggest that these species represent alternative plant strategies in response to a common moisture regime.
