Fuerte trees were protected from root rot caused by P. cinnamomi by foliar sprays with phosethyl-Al or soil applications of metalaxyl. Protected trees had higher xylem water potentials and showed faster and more complete recovery from water stress during the evening than untreated root-rot affected trees. Protected trees had greater fruit yields, and there was a correlation between the incidence of the physiological disorder ring neck and xylem water potential
