“…When the plant consumption of irrigation water reduced from 100 to 50%, stomatal conductance decreased by 45% in the Ikram genotype of tomatoes resulting in a cut assimilation rate of this genotype (Giuliani et al 2018). Similarly, tomato fruit yield was reduced by 86 − 94% and water productivity by 79-92% at 50% FC assessed with 100% FC (Chakma et al 2022). Due to less frequent irrigation in furrow irrigation systems, soil rapidly dries out and it is showing cracking symptoms at the soil surface.…”

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.

“…It enhances plant tolerance to abiotic stresses, such as soil salinity, by regulating photosynthesis, activating antioxidant enzymes, forming a silica barrier in roots to reduce the salt passage to shoots, and increasing osmoregulator production to adjust root osmotic potential with soil (Coskun, Britto, Huynh, & Kronzucker, 2016). When combined with other mitigating factors, silicon's capacity for stress mitigation can be improved (Kaloterakis, van Delden, Hartley, & De Deyn, 2021;Chakma et al, 2022). However, studies on silicon's effectiveness, when combined with other mitigators in reducing salt stress in plants, are limited.…”

Salt stress is a major abiotic factor limiting plant growth worldwide, particularly in arid and semiarid regions where excessive groundwater use in irrigation leads to high salt concentrations. To address this issue, this study investigated the efficacy of silicon, either alone or in combination with Trichoderma harzianum and organic matter, in mitigating salt stress in forage sorghum. The experiment took place in a saline Fluvisol in Parnamirim, a semiarid region of Pernambuco, Brazil, and followed a randomized block design with five treatments and four replicates: sorghum (control); sorghum + Si; sorghum + Si + OM (organic matter); sorghum + Si + T (T. harzianum); and sorghum + Si + T + OM. Sorghum plants were assessed over three cycles (initial cut and two regrowths) from June 2021 to April 2022. The combined treatments of Si + OM, Si + T, and Si + T + OM increased plant growth by 42.17, 35.49, and 27.51%, respectively, compared to the control. Similarly, these treatments led to biomass accumulation gains of 39.42, 40.44, and 31.77% in sorghum plants relative to the control. Silicon alone did not yield significant growth or biomass accumulation improvements. The application of silicon in conjunction with T. harzianum and/or organic matter shows promise in enhancing forage sorghum growth under saline stress conditions in semiarid regions.
