“…As water resources become increasingly scarce, the only irrigation water available in some areas is manually applied from collected precipitation. Therefore, more attention has been paid to irrigation scheduling (Ertek et al 2006), water-use efficiency (Mao 2003) and the mechanism by which cucumber responds to water loss. The pressure to improve the tolerance of cucumber to water loss has attracted the interest of many researchers.…”

The effect of treating cucumber seeds (Cucumis sativus 'Zhongnong 12') with exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) on seedling growth and various plant characteristics, including chlorophyll a fluorescence, net photosynthesis, antioxidant enzyme activity and water-stress tolerance under dehydration was investigated. The results showed that the photosynthesis rate (Pn), stomatal conductance (Gs), transpiration rate (Tr) and the apparent quantum yield of photosynthesis (AQY) all declined gradually, but the decline in ABA seed pre-treated seedlings (ASPS) was less than in non-ABA seed pre-treated seedlings (NASPS), especially for Pn during dehydration. Water use efficiency (WUE) was observed in ASPS, which was three times greater than that in NASPS, implying that the corresponding increase in WUE, calculated on the basis of water uptake, was the result of increased Pn and a reduction in transpiration in ASPS. During dehydration, the levels of electron transport rate (ETR), photochemical efficiency of PSII (F v /F m ), photochemical quenching (qP), quantum efficiency of PSII photochemistry (F PSII ) and the ratio of photochemicals (Pc) all decreased; in particular, the decline in NASPS was more than that in ASPS. The levels of non-photochemical quench (NPQ), ratio of antenna heat dissipation (Hd) and ratio of heat dissipation in PSII (Ex) all increased more in NASPS than in ASPS, suggesting that ABA could protect cucumber seedlings from the damage of photoinhibition by improved heat dissipation. Dehydration caused an increase in antioxidant enzyme activities in the first two days, especially in ASPS, and then declined slightly. In comparison with NASPS, ASPS showed a marked decrease in malondialdehyde (MDA) content during dehydration. On the other hand, rehydration resulted in nearly 100% recovery of Pn, Gs and Tr in ASPS, as well as chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, but only a small recovery in NASPS. These results suggest that imbibition of cucumber seeds with ABA protected cucumber seedlings from water-loss damage and increased their resistance or tolerance of dehydration, especially improving their WUE by improved Pn rather than by reduced water uptake under dehydration. The beneficial effect of exogenous ABA applications on reducing susceptibility to gradual dehydration of cucumber seedlings was confirmed in our study by applying ABA to imbibition cucumber seeds.

“…The reduction in irrigation depth promoted a reduction in most of the variables evaluated in the present study, indicating that any degree of water stress can harm the growth and yield of tomatoes (Saif, Maqsood, Farooq, Hussain, & Habib, 2003). Water deficit results in numerous physiological alterations, such as reductions in root matter, leaf area, and number of leaves and, consequently, reductions in plant growth (Mao et al, 2003;Patanè, Tringali, & Sortino, 2011). When the plant is subjected to water stress, almost all of its aspects of growth and development are affected, which can modify its anatomy and morphology as well as interfere with many metabolic reactions (Soares et al, 2011).…”

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.

Traditional irrigation which focuses on yield only without considering the availability of water is not an effective method where there is water scarcity. Deficit irrigation (DI) is an alternative irrigation method which saves water without significantly affecting yield. It has been widely used in various crops. There are range limits in every crop in terms of water limit endurance. Through simulation from various research on DI, this limit can be analyzed and the results made available for others who want to apply DI. The simulation was conducted to analyze the limit point in DI treatment.
