“…TAC determination is useful when comparing different situations such as farming conditions, storage or processing (Fraga et al, 2014). In this case, water stress applied to fruits under RDI, especially RDI 2, resulted in an increase in TAC, which was most likely due to activation of the phenol biosynthesis pathways and their subsequent accumulation (Navarro et al, 2015). The shikimic pathway is the metabolic route through which total phenols are synthetized (Tomás- Barberán and Espin, 2001), and is enhanced by abiotic stresses such as water stress.…”

“…However, there is no information on the response of RDI fruit to different storage atmospheres. The combination of water stress, which can increase the concentration of some bioactive compounds (Navarro et al, 2015) and proper postharvest treatments, which allow for better maintenance of those compounds (Sivakumar et al, 2012), may provide a healthier, high-quality product.…”

“…Several studies have been conducted in order to investigate the antioxidant capacity resulting from the consumption of tomato, and they have associated the consumption of lycopene to the prevention of degenerative diseases, certain cancers and cardiovascular diseases (Caliman et al, 2010;Kong et al, 2010;Perveen et al, 2015). Botía, & Pérez-Pérez, 2015;Navarro, Pérez-Pérez, Romero, & Botía, 2010;Pék et al, 2014). Associated to this, the tomato is known for the high requirements of water during its cultivation (Patanè, Tringali, & Sortino, 2011).…”

The demand for healthier foods has been increasing worldwide. Associated with this trend, it is crucial to optimize the use of inputs for ensuring the sustainability of production. The fruits of tomato are important sources of minerals, vitamins, and especially of carotenoids such as the lycopene. This carotenoid plays biological activities that are crucial such as the antioxidant function, besides its proven action in the prevention of cancers and degenerative diseases. The irrigation seems to play a fundamental role in the biosynthesis of lycopene. Thus, it is fundamental to establish levels of irrigation that might provide higher content of lycopene, productivity, and efficiency in the use of water in the production of tomato. The objective of this study was to establish adequate levels of irrigation for the obtainment of higher content of lycopene, productivity of fruits, and higher efficiency in the use of water in the production of salad tomato. For this, two experiments were carried in different cropping seasons. The treatments consisted of the application of four irrigation depths, corresponding to 50, 100, 150 and 200% of the tomato evapotranspiration. The estimates of maximum productivity corresponded to the application of the irrigation depth of 112% ETc, while the maximum content of lycopene and the higher efficiency in the use of water corresponded to 50% ETc. The irrigation depth of 100% ETc is recommended as the best irrigation depth to obtain higher content of lycopene, productivity, and efficiency in the use of water jointly.

“…The reduced availability (López-Mata et al, 2010;Li et al, 2015) and global concern about water resources make necessary the adoption of strategies for the reduction of water use without reducing crop yields (Navarro et al, 2015). The water use efficiency (WUE) index can be used to plan and take decisions on irrigation (Karatas et al, 2009).…”

Despite the shortage of water resources be evident worldwide, turning prosperous lands into unproductive and affecting the existence of humidity, there is a great fraction of producers who still do not implement the proper management of the irrigation water in their properties. The poor management of irrigation is still a reality for most of the producers located in Brazil Middle Cerrado, which continue irrigating the tomato crop using empirical methods, resulting in economic, environmental and social damage. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of different irrigation depths and different times of suspension in irrigation during the ripening stage in tomato in productivity and quality of fruit for processing. The experiment was conducted under a Center pivot irrigation system and a split plot experimental design. The study showed that the higher irrigation depth (100% of ETc) resulted in higher yield (104 t ha -1 ) with lower soluble solids. The irrigation suspension at the beginning of fruit maturation increased soluble solids accumulation (4.2°Brix), providing higher quality and production of fruits to tomato industry.
