| Research Abstract |
1. The weather conditions of the selected places located in the western part of Japan were characterized. The duration of sunshine, the number of fine days and the total integrated temperature in a year in Tottori were found to be much smaller than those in the other places.
2. The branch growth rate of Guava(Psidium guajava Linn) was measured at each growing stage to clarify the growth characteristics. The leaf area index was estimated satisfactory from the length of branch.
3. The cold resistance of Guava was tested under the different conditions of covering for heat insulation; vinyl house, stubble mulching and transparent poly-ethylene mulches. The covering by double layer vinyl house and transparent poly-ethylene mulches was most effective for growth.
4. Evapotranspiration from Guava was estimated by the water balance method using lysimeters with the different types of soil. The method of estimation of evapotranspiration with a compartment model was proposed by considering upward water supply from ground water. The maximum daily evapotranspiration from Guava in Kuroboku soil was 10 mm/day during the period when pan evaporation was heighest. The two dimensional soil moisture depletion method was applied to estimate evapotranspiratin under the drip irrigation condition.
5. From the field survery for farmers and research institutions, it was concluded that the different water, fertilizer and leaf cutting management is necessary in accordance with the different harvests, leaves or fruits, and the local cultural conditions. It was suggested that the water-curtain system that warmer ground water is sprayed between double layer of vinyl house for increase of heat insulation efficiency should be introduced during the winter time.
