“…This result is in agreement with Affi et al [48] that showed, in a study on tomato grown under controlled conditions, similar longitudinal diameter (77-82 mm) between the well-watered and the 70 PRD regimes. On the other hand, the significantly lower values observed for IR 70DI and IR 0 can be explained by water and nutrient shortages, as also reported by Zegbe-Domínguez et al [49]. Moreover, the growing season influenced the fruit size, since the fruit's longitudinal diameter was significantly lower in the first year, which was characterized by lower rainfall and higher temperatures.…”

“…The CI, which represents an index that sufficiently describes the colour changes of tomato fruit, showed higher values under IR 70DI and IR 0 regimes, while no differences were found between IR 100 and IR 70PRD . Consistent with these findings, other authors reported that deficit-irrigated tomato fruits had higher colour intensity than fully-irrigated fruits [32,49,55,56]. However, the result obtained with PRD irrigation was in agreement with Bogale et al [56] relative to tomato cultivar 'Matina', but not with Haghighi et al [32] who reported a redder colour of PRD fruits with respect to the well-watered ones.…”

“…Additionally, Haghighi et al [32] found soluble solids fruit content significantly higher in PRD fruit than in the well-watered plants. Previous reports have confirmed higher soluble solid values in tomato fruit grown under PRD [49,50]. However, Campos et al [51] found no difference in soluble solids values between PRD and control fruits.…”

Due to climate change, the application of water saving strategies is of particular interest. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of deficit irrigation (DI) and partial root-zone drying (PRD) techniques on the crop water stress index (CWSI), water use efficiency (WUE), and quality parameters in processing tomatoes grown in open field conditions in a Mediterranean climate. Two cultivars were grown for two growing seasons under four irrigation regimes as follows: (i) IR 100 : full irrigation by restoring 100% of the maximum tomato evapotranspiration (ET c ); (ii) IR 70DI : 70% of the amount of water given to the IR 100 ; (iii) IR 70PRD : 70% of the amount of water given to the IR 100 by applying partial root-zone drying and (iv) IR 0 : irrigation only at transplanting and during fertigation. During the flowering period, the first growing season was characterized by an absence of rainfall and by higher temperatures also showing a higher CWSI. Despite, under IR 70PRD , the CWSI was significantly higher than under IR 70DI , the marketable yield obtained was significantly higher. Both IR 70DI and IR 70PRD regimes received approximately 24% less water than IR 100 , but the yield reduction with relation to the optimum regime was equal to 16.2% under IR 70DI , and only 7.6% under IR 70PRD . The WUE increment of IR 70PRD with respect to IR 100 was equal to 27% in the first growing season and to 17% in the second one, showing that the positive effect of PRD on the WUE is more evident in the more stressed year. Finally, the results from the principal component analysis (PCA) showed that the two cultivars had different qualitative responses in the two extreme regimes (IR 100 and IR 0 ) but not under PRD and DI regimes.

“…In other research, WUE was higher in TDI and PRD plants than in control plants (Zegbe-Domínguez et al 2003). Acar et al (2014) illustrated by use of DI by drip system average 25% volume of water saving can be made.…”

“…These include the controlled alternative drip irrigation of a part of root zone, applied in a vertical soil profile, controlled alternative border irrigation, controlled alternative furrow irrigation (FI), controlled alternative surface irrigation, and subsurface irrigation. Zegbe-Domínguez et al (2003) illustrated that leaf water potential, total plant fresh weight and total dry weight of tomato crop were lower in the TDI than the FI and PRD. In the PRD irrigation, WUE improved by 83%.…”

Purpose Declining water resources, increasing drought period and increasing irrigated area cause a shift to deficit irrigated production which is not based on full water requirement. This study was conducted to investigate the impacts of two different deficit irrigation methods, including traditional deficit irrigation (TDI) and partial root-zone drying (PRD) on water use efficiency (WUE) in corn cultivations located at the lands close to the Shahrekord wastewater treatment plant. Methods A factorial design was employed, consisted of fifteen treatments and three replications. The first factor was three water applications, including 60, 80 and 100 (control) percent of plant water requirement. The second factor was three water sources, including 100% fresh water (FW), 50% water and 50% wastewater (5050), 100% wastewater (WW). T-Tape irrigation type system was used for irrigation of corn (Zea mays L.). The third factor was water management in three levels: full irrigation (FI), PRD and TDI. Results The result showed that dry and fresh weight, leaf area index (LAI), dry biomass percentage and WUE were affected by water requirement at 5% probability level expect of height plant that is affected at 1% probability level. Water quality was affected on all the study indicators of corn plant expect of WUE. WUE among PRD by deficit irrigation treatments were higher than TDI and it was the minimum in FI. The dry and wet weight and LAI were maximum at FI and then PDR 80 than TDI 80 . The height of corn plants were high at FI and TDI 80 than PRD 80 . Conclusion Finally, wastewater application in treatment named 5050-PRD 80 and 5050-TDI 80 compensated water deficit in WUE, LAI and dry biomass percentage. PRD method recognized more suitable than TDI for corn plants.
