“…The WP ranged between 0.37 and 0.46 kg/m 3 in the treatments examined with T7(70) having the highest value (WP=0.46 kg/m 3 ) and T7 (30) having the least (WP = 0.37 kg/m 3 ). Hence, it can be implied from the model that tomato fruit yield is more productive when irrigated with 70% ETo value at the maturity stage than 60% ETo at maturity as observed in the field.…”

Improving water productivity through deficit irrigation has become a major goal for sustainable agriculture amidst global decline in water availability. The study evaluated the yield, crop water use and water productivities of field-grown drip-irrigated tomato in response to regulated deficit irrigation, and subsequent simulation under different deficit and irrigation method scenarios, using AquaCrop model, in Afaka, Nigeria. The field experiment, laid in randomized complete block design, comprised three deficit irrigation levels (80, 60 and 40% of reference evapotranspiration, ETo) imposed at the vegetative, flowering and maturity growth stages, with 100% ETo at the three crop growth stages as the control. The highest fresh fruit yield (19.0 t/ha) was obtained irrigating with 100% ETo value at all growth stages but the highest water productivity of fresh fruit (4.94 kg/m3 ) was obtained irrigating with 60% ETo at maturity stage, then full irrigation at vegetative and flowering stages. On fruit dry yield basis, the highest simulated crop water productivity (0.46 kg/m3 ) for the deficit scenarios was obtained irrigating with 80% ETo at all the three growth stages, having the highest fruit dry yield (1.67 t/ha) and the lowest seasonal water applied (447 mm). Under the scenarios of irrigation methods (drip, basin and furrow), the fruit dry yield was similar in each treatment, but water productivity was highest (0.53 kg/m3 ) under drip irrigation system. Irrigating with 80% ETo at all the entire crop growth cycle of UC 82B tomato is recommended for the highest crop water productivity.

“…In GH tomato production, drip irrigation dropped the irrigation amount by 17-30% compared to furrow irrigation systems without yield loss (Li et al 2020). Drip irrigation systems preserved proper soil moisture, and greatly reduced evaporation losses resulting in the highest water use efficiency over furrow irrigation leading to good crop response for tomato production (Musa et al 2014;Chen et al 2018;Chakma et al 2021). In the case of strawberries, drip irrigation maintained more uniform soil moisture, plant growth and fruit yield compared to the furrow irrigation system in Bangladesh (Dash et al 2020).…”

The deficit irrigation offers water savings potential that is becoming popular in arid and semi-arid regions reducing freshwater use over time. A two-year factorial experiment was conducted to evaluate growth, yield and water productivity of tomato under water deficit irrigation of the drip and furrow method. The experiment was carried out in a split-plot design with drip irrigation and furrow irrigation as main plot treatments, and soil moisture regimes (0, -10, -20, -30 kPa) as subplots. Data were collected on growth parameters, physiological traits, yield and water productivity of tomato. The results showed that physiological traits, yield, and water productivity were significantly influenced by irrigation system and soil moisture regime. The drip irrigation system with -10 kPa soil moisture regime reduced total water input by 22.6% and 19.8% and gave 28% and 22% higher fruit yields in 2020 and 2021, respectively, compared with furrow irrigation system. Plant growth was higher and flowering occurred earlier (3 days) with drip irrigation system than with furrow irrigation. When the soil water content was -10 kPa, drip irrigation performed significantly better than for other soil moisture regimes by improving physiological and phenological attributes, and thereby, advancing tomato growth and fruit yield. Thus, a drip irrigation system with soil moisture regime -10 kPa could reduce total water input through precise irrigation, maximizing tomato yield and water productivity.

The pressure on water resources is due to different factors that affect agricultural development for food security. Large agricultural lands are not irrigated because of limited water resources and poor irrigation water management. This results in poor crop water productivity. Therefore, this paper focused on finding alternative techniques of irrigation water management to solve the problems of poor irrigation water management for crop water productivity for diverse crop species. Although there are different options for saving and managing irrigation water to improve crop water productivity, deficit irrigation in different mechanisms, drip irrigation, pitcher irrigation and surface mulch were some of the innovative techniques of irrigation water management. Accordingly, stage-wise deficit irrigation was better than deficit irrigation throughout the growing season for improving yield productivity. Considering the furrow irrigation system, alternate furrow irrigation is better to save water and improve crop water productivity than fixed furrow irrigation. On the other hand, drip irrigation is better performed to improve crop water productivity than conventional irrigation systems. Furthermore, pitcher irrigation system and deficit irrigation with mulch had better performance than conventional furrow irrigation to save irrigation water and improve crop water productivity. Therefore, the alternative techniques of irrigation water management to improve crop water productivity are the best option for food security in areas of water scarcity. Particularly, deficit irrigation, alternate irrigation, drip irrigation with mulching and pitcher irrigation are alternatively recommended for implementation in the areas of water scarcity for sustainable development.
