  1. MCEW represents a 25% mepiquat chloride emulsion in water; I1, I2, and I3 represent 300, 480, and 660 mm drip irrigation amounts, respectively; MT, MC1, MC2, and MC3 represent manual topping as control, 450, 750, and 1 050 mL·hm−2 MCEW, respectively. Fv/Fm, φPSII, qP, and NPQ represent the primary light energy conversion efficiency of PSII in the dark, quantum yield of PSII, coefficient of photochemical quenching, and coefficient of nonphotochemical quenching, respectively. For each year, values in one column followed by different letters are significantly different at P < 0.05
