“…These results were similar for both types of cultivars, although further work is required to clarify the cultivar effect. In most articles about irrigation experiments, the number of fruits was typically less affected by deficit irrigation strategies than the fruit weight, even under more severe water stress conditions and different cultivars than the ones used in the current work [ 11 , 13 , 15 , 21 , 31 ]. The fruit water transport through the xylem has been recently reported to be greater than expected in tomatoes (around 75% via xylem [ 32 ]).…”

“…The increase in TSS values in the current work occurred in the experiments with a greater SI ( Figure 3 and Figure 10 ). Some studies reported changes in the response to water stress between trusses of the same plant, and such differences were also variable between seasons [ 13 ]. This latter work described a sustained deficit irrigation strategy, where these results would suggest a cumulative effect of water stress [ 13 ].…”

This latter work described a sustained deficit irrigation strategy, where these results would suggest a cumulative effect of water stress [ 13 ]. Other works suggested that the increase in TSS occurred at the pink stage of fruit ripening and varied between locations, although the same final cutoff period or a moderate irrigation reduction was applied [ 17 ].…”

“…Sustained irrigation works reported that applying around 50% of the full irrigated water did not significantly reduce yield [ 6 , 9 , 11 ]. However, other experiments suggested that applying anything below 75% would affect yield [ 12 , 13 ]. This lack of results suggests that applied water is not the most accurate tool to manage deficit irrigation if water stress is not measured.…”

The scarcity of water resources affects tomato production. Deficit irrigation may optimize water management with only a low reduction in yield. Deficit irrigation scheduling based on applied water presented no clear conclusions. Water stress management based on plant water status, such as water potential, could improve the scheduling. The aim of this work was to evaluate the physiological and yield responses of different tomato cultivars to deficit irrigation. Three experiments were carried out in 2020 and 2022 at the University of Seville (Spain). “Cherry” and “chocolate Marmande” cultivars with an indeterminate growth pattern were grown in a greenhouse. Treatments were: Control (full irrigated) and Deficit. Deficit plants were irrigated based on water potential measurements. Moderate water stress did not significantly reduce the yield, although it affected other processes. Fruit size and total soluble solids were the most sensitive parameters to water stress. The latter increased only when persistent water stress was applied. However, truss development and fruit number were not affected by the level of water stress imposed. Such results suggest that moderate water stress, even in sensitive phenological stages such as flowering, would not reduce yield. Deficit irrigation scheduling based on plant water status will allow accurate management of water stress.

Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.) generates over 88 billion USD in export revenue to Thailand annually but is restrained due to fruit defects. This study aimed to determine whether smart irrigation with sensors, IoT, and real-time data collection for regulating stable soil water content affects mangosteen fruit quantity and quality. Climate, soil, and mangosteen parameters were compared between irrigated and non-irrigated productions. Flowering and fruit yield data were collected from twenty randomly selected mangosteen trees per irrigation treatment. The results showed that air and soil temperatures were lower, but relative humidity and soil moisture on mangosteen production were greater in irrigated trees than in non-irrigated trees. Irrigated and non-irrigated mangosteen trees showed no significant difference in trunk diameter or crown size. Irrigation boosted mangosteen yields with increased flowers, fruits, and weight but thinner peels, fewer pulp segments, and a higher vulnerability to fruit imperfections. The mean fruit circumference did not differ significantly between non-irrigated and irrigated mangosteen production systems. Mangosteen fruits in irrigated production had fewer fruit defects than those in non-irrigated production. Regulated irrigated mangosteen production with stable soil moisture using soil moisture sensors and IoT produced high-quantity and quality mangosteens with fewer fruit defects.
