Abstract
The acreage of irrigated orchards in northern Thailand has dramatically increased since the discovery of flower induction by potassium chlorate in 1998 (see Chapter 3.1). As the availability of water is limited, alternatives for the more efficient use of water and fertilisers in fruit production are urgently needed. As longan and mango represent an important share of fruit production in the area under study, they have been the main focus of research on water-saving irrigation techniques.
