Irrigation was applied by microsprinklers at a spacing of 1 x 1 m. Water applications were the same for all treatments except during the deficit periods. The control regime approximately simulated the natural rainfall regime of the region of Tanout, with a gradual increase of irrigation frequency and amount until flowering, and a tapering off towards the end of the season (Fig. 1). 72
