The present study investigated the impact of planting spacing on tomato crop growth, water productivity, and fruit quality under different water regimes. Thus, a field experiment was conducted using a randomized complete block design in a factorial arrangement of treatments. The tomato plants were grown at three planting spacing patterns: 30 cm row-to-row planting spacing, 60 cm row-to-row planting spacing, and 90 cm row-to-row planting spacing, which were marked as (G1), (G2), and (G3), respectively. For each planting spacing pattern, irrigation regimes, namely (I1), (I2), and (I3), were established by setting the soil moisture content to 50%, 100%, and 150% of the reference evapotranspiration. The I3 × G2 combination resulted in the maximum values of plant height (68.2 cm), stem diameter (12.1 mm), and yield (41,269.9 kg/hm2), providing the highest contents of protein (1.93 mg/kg), fat (0.81%), fiber (3.94%), and lycopene (4.00 mg/kg) of the fresh fruit. Conversely, the I1 × G1 led to the minimum values of plant height (37.3 cm), stem diameter (5.65 mm), and yield (7814.7 kg/hm2), providing the lowest contents of protein (1.15 mg/kg), fat (0.50%), fiber (2.39%), and lycopene (2.15 mg/kg) of the fresh fruit. The I1 × G1 had the highest water productivity (25.06 kg/m3) value, while the lowest WP (10.23 kg/m3) value was achieved by I3 × G3. While the I1 × G3 treatment minimized the uniformity coefficient and distribution uniformity, the I3 × G3 treatment maximized their values, indicating more uniform water distribution. Our findings indicate that the I3 × G2 combination can increase tomato productivity, growth, and fruit quality. However, the I1 × G1 performed better in terms of water productivity. The results of this study can positively contribute to improving tomato production systems’ sustainability, productivity, and quality under the increasing problem of climate change.

Apple growth and development can be adversely affected by saline–alkali stress, which has become a significant factor restricting the high yield of the apple industry. In recent years, nanomaterials have become a potential source for plant growth and development. Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2NPs) play an important role in multiple plant development processes, including mitigating environmental stress. In this study, one-year-old apple rootstock B9 stem cuttings were used as research objects. Different concentrations of TiO2NPs were applied to the roots before saline–alkali treatment. Principal component analysis showed that 1 g kg−1 TiO2NPs treatment had the best effect in alleviating the stress for B9. It significantly reduced the damage to B9 under salt–alkali stress, increased the content of photosynthetic pigment, enhanced the performance of Photosystem II, and promoted photosynthesis. At the same time, the content of K+ was increased, and the ion toxicity was alleviated. In addition, TiO2NPs have also been shown to reduce B9 cell damage and lipid peroxidation, increase antioxidant enzyme activity, and regulate the accumulation of solutes. Overall, this study provides a theoretical basis for TiO2NPs to mitigate the adverse effects of plants under saline–alkali stress and provides useful insights for managing other plants affected by global salinity and alkalinity.
