“…Figure 11 Total soluble solids, vitamin C, and titratable acidity for the different irrigation treatments Both RDI and PRD treatments had higher TSS concentrations than the FI treatment in both years, as shown in Figure 11. This agrees with the findings of various researchers [14,37,58] . TSS increasing could be due to a higher conversion of starch to sugars under water deficit [59] .…”

Water resources are subjected to ever-increasing supply constraints due to extensive agricultural water demand for irrigated lands. Therefore, water-saving irrigation strategies need to be explored. The present study was conducted to explore the possibilities of using regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) and partial root zone drying irrigation (PRD) methods as water-saving irrigation techniques for subsurface irrigation. The objective of this study are to assess the effects of RDI and PRD irrigation on the water productivity of vegetable crops (tomato) under SSD systems in arid climatic conditions, and to compare the responses of tomato crops to PRD, RDI, and FI under an SSD system in terms of productivity, crop quality, and the amount of water saved. The field experiment was conducted during the fall 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 Citation: Hashem M S, El-Abedin T Z, Al-Ghobari H M.

“…Similar results were found for plant height by Soares, Lima, Brito, Sá, andAraújo (2011), Macêdo andAlvarenga (2005) and Santana et al (2010), for number of leaves by Soares et al (2011), and for fruits by Silva et al (2013) and Macêdo and Alvarenga (2005). The numbers of bunches and flowers were not influenced by the irrigation depths, which is consistent with the result found by Cantore et al (2016) in a study of water deficit in tomato crops.…”

“…Higher values of water use efficiency can be obtained by irrigation management with water deficit (Cantore et al, 2016), especially in the cultivation of tomatoes, which are sensitive or moderately tolerant to water deficit (Zheng et al, 2013). However, irrigation is one of the most complex techniques in agriculture because many factors are involved in its management (Escarabajal-Henarejos, Molina-Martínez, Fernández-Pacheco, & García-Mateos, 2015).…”

ABSTRACT.Two experiments were performed to evaluate the effect of ash (40, 80, and 120 g per plant), castor cake (140 and 280 g per plant) and water depth (135, 165, 191, and 213 mm) on the growth and production of organic tomato cultivated in pots in a greenhouse. The experimental design was randomized blocks, and the irrigation was managed using an automatic irrigation device. The following variables were evaluated: plant heights, numbers of leaves, bunches, flowers and fruits, total mass of fruits, mass of marketable fruits, mass of fruits with blossom-end rot, total diameter of fruits, and diameter of marketable fruits. Most of the growth variables showed gains with the application of 140 g of ash and 280 g of cake.The dose of 280 g of castor cake was responsible for the greatest mass of marketable fruits (1.78 kg per plant), regardless of the ash dose. The water deficit reduced values of most of the variables of growth and production. The irrigation depth of 213 mm was responsible for the greatest mass of marketable fruits (4.04 kg per plant). The highest water use efficiencies, 37.00 and 37.93 kg m -3, were observed at irrigation depths of 191 and 213 mm, respectively.Keywords: Solanum lycopersicum L., organic agriculture, water management.Crescimento e produção do tomateiro adubado com cinza e torta de mamona e sob lâminas de irrigação, cultivado em vasoponia orgânica RESUMO. Foram realizados dois experimentos com objetivo de avaliar o efeito da cinza (40, 80 e 120 g por planta), da torta de mamona (140 e 280 g por planta) e de lâminas de irrigação (135, 165, 191 e 213 mm) no crescimento e produção do tomateiro orgânico, cultivado em vaso e ambiente protegido. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos casualizados e o manejo da irrigação realizado pelo acionador automático para irrigação. Foram avaliadas a altura das plantas, os números de folhas, cachos, flores e frutos, as massas de fruto total, comercial e com podridão apical, e os diâmetros de fruto total e comercial. A maioria das variáveis de crescimento obtiveram ganhos com a aplicação de 140 g de cinza e 280 g de torta. A dose de 280 g de torta proporcionou maior massa fresca comercial (1,78 kg por planta), independente da dose de cinza. O déficit hídrico reduziu os valores da maioria das variáveis de crescimento e de produção. A lâmina de 213 mm foi a responsável pela maior massa fresca comercial (4,04 kg por planta). As maiores eficiências de uso de água, 37,00 e 37,93 kg m -3 , foram encontradas para as lâminas de 191 e 213 mm, respectivamente.Palavras-chave: Solanum lycopersicum L., agricultura orgânica, manejo da irrigação.

“…On the other hand, Doorenbos and Kassam (1979) estimated the Ky for tomato as 1.05, thus classifying their tomato crop as moderately sensitive to water stress. Moreover, in processing tomato field experiments conducted in some Mediterranean areas as Turkey (Kuşçu et al, 2014) and Italy (Perniola et al, 2005;Cantore et al, 2016) a Ky higher than 1.4, indicating high crop sensitivity to water stress, was observed. It appears likely that the different data reported in the literature for Ky in tomato are closely related to the different cultivars and to the different environmental and seasonal conditions, and growth stage when deficit evapotranspiration is imposed (Kaboosi and Kaveh, 2012).…”

Water saving strategies assessment on processing tomato cultivated in Mediterranean region

et al. 2016

Processing tomato grown in Mediterranean region required high irrigation volume throughout growing season. A two-year study was carried out in order to investigate the effects of deficit irrigation (DI) and regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) on processing tomato cultivated under sub-arid conditions. A comparison between the irrigation management linked to common practice adopted by farmer and the irrigation management based on crop evapotranspiration (ETc) demand was also done. The tomato cv. Genius F1 was cultivated under five water regimes: minimal irrigation (I0), as irrigation only at transplanting and during fertilising; DI, to restore 60% ETc; RDI, to restore 60%-80%-60% ETc across the three main tomato phenological stages; full irrigation (FI), to restore 100% ETc; and farmer irrigation (FaI), as irrigation following the subjective farmer method. Compared to FI, under the FaI regime, the seasonal irrigation volume was 31% and 26% higher in the 2009 and 2010, respectively, with not significant yield increase between the two water regimes. Among the irrigation regimes, only the RDI showed similar yield values over the two years, although 2010 was climatically less favourable. For the water use efficiency related to the marketable yield (WUEy), among the irrigation regimes, RDI showed the higher value together with FI. Finally, the Ky was 0.91, which indicates moderate water stress tolerance for processing tomato cultivated in Mediterranean regions. In conclusion, the data obtained in the present study demonstrate that in Southern Italy the irrigation planning followed by the farmer does not follow the principles of sustainable irrigation. Moreover, with the adoption of the RDI strategy, it is possible to save about 27% of water maintaining high WUEy value with an increase of fruit quality. The adoption of this regime could be suggested in processing tomato cultivated under Mediterranean climate saving water in both the vegetative and ripening periods.
