“…The temperature inside the greenhouse was 21.32 ºC and 25.07 ºC, respectively. These ndings are in line with earlier research by Suyanto [40], which showed that tomato plants grow more quickly (1.11 cm/day) under 680 nm light than they do under lower wavelength light (480, 550, and 650 nm) at the germination stage. A study reported that the height of tomato plants appears signi cantly higher under 14-hour photoperiod treatment during the months of the spring season [41].…”

The growth of plants is intricately influenced by interconnected biochemical and physiological activities throughout different phases, in response to environmental conditions. This study exploresthe impact of greenhouse climate on the growth, yield, and biochemistry of winter-grown cherry tomatoes (Cheramy F1). Climatic conditions ranged from a minimum of 10.5°C to the highest of 41.3°C (average 21.22°C) temperature during the vegetative stage and from 8.2°C to 32.3°C (average 20.89 °C) during the fruit-bearing stage, with an average CO2 concentration fluctuated within the range of 385.61 ppm to 510.30 ppm and an average light intensity of 94.62 to 240.45 W/m². W/m². This study assessed various growth parameters, such as plant Height, leaf growth, stem diameter, leaf spacing, leaf count, leaf area, and inflorescence count per plant. The key results of this study revealed the Progressive Growth Report (PGR), predicting daily potential growth. Rates: plant height (2.86 to 3.81 cm/day), mature old leaf growth (0.003988 m2/day), middle younger leaf growth (0.008733 m2/day), top nascent leaf growth (0.010722 m2/day), three to five leaves per week and one inflorescence per week. Additionally, accidental observations were noted. unusual plant growth and yield responses due to varied plant postures in the greenhouse. A non-significant interaction was found between fruit keeping quality (Shelf days), fruit height, fruit diameter, and inflorescence number. The results of this study offer valuable insights for optimizing greenhouse operations, aiming to improve cherry tomato yields and quality while fostering environmental sustainability. An analysis of variance was used to statistically analyze the presented results at a confidence level of p < 0.05.

“…Environmental variations, especially insufficient light, can significantly extend this timeframe by impeding starch and sugar export, leading to inadequate carbohydrate accumulation in bud source organs. This delay, in turn, hampers floral initiation and reduces the flower bud count [30].…”

“…Taller plants tend to exhibit a greater total number of flower clusters [29]. According to one study, the count of leaves produced before the appearance of the first inflorescence in tomato plants decreases with higher levels of light intensity [30]. At high temperatures, the relative growth rate (RGR) of tomato plants initially increases but rapidly drops over time, while at lower temperatures the growth rate is initially low but declines more gradually [31].…”

Understanding how cherry tomatoes respond to variations in greenhouse microclimate is crucial for optimizing tomato production in a controlled environment. The present study delves into the intricate relationship between summer-grown cherry tomatoes (Cheramy F1) and greenhouse conditions, exploring the influence of these conditions on growth attributes, inflorescence development, and yield potential. The aim of the study was to characterize the chronology of reproductive events, specifically flowering and fruit stages, in correlation with the prevailing greenhouse climate during the development of the first ten inflorescences on the plant. The performance of each inflorescence has been ranked based on available data, which involve a comparative analysis of both the time duration (number of days) and the frequency of yield-contributing traits, specifically the total number of flowers at the anthesis stage. The duration of each stage required for completion was recorded and presented as a productivity rate factor. Greenhouse conditions exhibited variations during the vegetative and reproductive stages, respectively, as follows: temperature—25.1 °C and 21.33 °C, CO2 levels—484.85 ppm and 458.85 ppm, light intensity—367.94 W/m2 and 349.52 W/m2, and humidity—73.23% and 89.73%. The collected data conclusively demonstrated a substantial impact of greenhouse microclimate on plant growth, productivity, and inflorescence development. The development of flowers and fruit has been categorized into five stages: the fruit bud stage (FB), the anthesis stage (AS), the fruit setting stage (FS), the fruit maturation stage (FM), and the fruit ripening stage (FR). An irregular productivity and development response was noted across the first (close to roots) to the tenth inflorescence. Inflorescence 5 demonstrated the highest overall performance, followed by inflorescence numbers 4 and 6. The study findings provide valuable insights for enhancing greenhouse operations, emphasizing the improvement of both the yield and growth of cherry tomatoes while promoting environmental sustainability. A statistical analysis of variance was used to rigorously examine the presented results, conducted at a confidence level of p < 0.05.

“…In the winter season, short-term light exposure has an impact on a plant's metabolic processes and growth. A study correlated plant height with high productivity and better biomass calculations [40]. According to a research report, the temperature inside a greenhouse without an environment controller exceeds 20-30 °C as compared to the outside temperature [41].…”

The dynamic process of plants’ growth is primarily influenced by interconnected biochemical and physiological activities that operate throughout different growing phases. These processes respond to environmental conditions, affecting plant development and productivity. The present studies were carried out to investigate greenhouse conditions' impact on winter-grown cherry tomatoes (Cheramy F1) in terms of growth, yield, and nutritional composition.Data was collected on various dates during the period extending from December 2022 to March 2023. The greenhouse temperature varies from 22°C to 25.47°C (avg. 21.20°C) during plant growth and from 20°C to 23.85°C during fruit-bearing. Average CO2 concentration was 349.19 ppm; average light was 240.93 w/m2. Measured growth parameters include plant height, leaf growth, stem diameter, leaf spacing, leaf count, leaf area, and inflorescence count per plant. The key results of this study revealed the progressive growth report (PGR), which predicted the daily potential growth rate of plants: plant height, 2.86 to 3.81 cm/day; growth rate of mature old leaf: 0.003988 m2/day; middle younger leaf: 0.008733 m2/day; top Nascent leaf: 0.010722 m2/day; three to five leaves per week; and one inflorescence per week. In our accidental observation, we observed that plants with different orientations and growing spots within the greenhouse responded differently in view of their growth parameters. A exceedingly significant interaction among the inflorescence was found in view of length of inflorescence, number of fruits inflorescence, total fruit mass inflorescence, average fruit mass inflorescence, fruit dry matter inflorescence, fruit height inflorescence, and fruit diameter inflorescence. A non-significant interaction was found between the fruit keeping quality (Shelf days), fruit size, and inflorescence number. Inflorescence with a high, lower leaf area appeared to have high productivity. The nutritional composition of fruit was also different among the inflorescences.. The study's goal is to investigate and gather data to test the hypothesis that changes in greenhouse conditions and the adoption of green management practices will directly influence plant growth attributes, productivity, and fruit quality. The findings of this research could be valuable for optimizing greenhouse operations to enhance crop yields and quality while also promoting environmental sustainability.
