“…There was significant increase in the diameter and length of tomato due to mulching (Zhang et al, 2019). This result is in line with the result obtained Karear et al (2020), who reported that fruit diameter increased using mulching in tomato. (Sarmah et al, 2022).…”

A field experiment was carried out to find out the effect of different levels of nitrogen and mulching on growth and yield parameters of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum Mill.) var. VL443 at commercial tomato farm in Sandhikharkha, Arghakhanchi from February – June 2022. The eight treatments were laid out in two factorial RCBD with three replications. The treatment combinations were T1 (Non-mulching with 0 kgha-1), T2 (Non-mulching with 50 kgha-1), T3 (Non- mulching with 100 kgha-1), T4 (Non-mulching with 150 kgha-1), T5 (Mulching with 0 kgha-1), T6 (Mulching with 50 kgha-1), T7 (Mulching with 100 kgha-1), and T8 (Mulching with 150 kgha-1). Growth parameters, yield, and yield attributing traits were recorded. The result indicated that the 150 kgha-1 dose of N application contributes to the higher plant height (178.13 cm), the number of leaves (47.83), fruit length (72.50 mm), fruit diameter (58.83 mm), Individual fruit weight (71.67 g) and yield (2.51 kg/ plant). Similarly, plastic mulch contributes significantly higher plant height (173.6 cm), the number of leaves (47.30), fruit length (68.84 mm), fruit diameter (54.20 mm), Individual fruit weight (72.52 g) and yield (2.53 kg/ plant) as compared to non-mulched condition. Furthermore, fruit yield per hectare in mulching with 150 kg-1 plot was significantly higher in comparison to non-mulching with 0 kgha-1 plot. So, the application of 150 kgha-1 nitrogen along with plastic mulching is recommended to increase the yield of tomatoes under the plastic tunnels in Arghakhanchi.

“…The 0-40 cm soil moisture of I3 irrigation treatment of spring tomato and autumn tomato was about 6.14% and 3.79% higher than that of I2 treatment under MSPF, respectively; the soil water-filled porosity increased, weakening the active oxygen metabolism of crops, limiting the activity of soil microorganisms and enzymes, and having a negative effect on tomato yield [40]. This is not consistent with the conclusions of Bush [47], Li [48], and Karaer [49], namely that tomato yield increases with the increase in irrigation amount in drip irrigation. This may be due to the difference of irrigation amount control.…”

This study aimed to expound the changes in soil water flow, heat transport, and tomato production under micro-sprinkler irrigation and plastic film (MSPF) conditions. The effects of different irrigation amounts (I1:0.7 Epan; I2:1.0 Epan; and I3:1.2 Epan (Epan is the cumulative evaporation from a 20 cm diameter standard pan, mm)) on soil water, soil temperature, and tomato yield were studied. A completely randomized trial design was used; meanwhile, the drip irrigation under plastic film (CK1) and micro-sprinkler irrigation without mulch film (CK2) were used as controls. The results showed that the shape of soil moisture was banded under MSPF; the soil wetting range was larger than that of CK1 and CK2 in the profile of MSPF. The change range of 5 cm soil temperature of MSPF 1–5 days after irrigation was 4.05 °C. The change range of 5 cm soil temperature of MSPF was lower than that of CK1 from 1 to 5 days after irrigation. During the growth period of spring and autumn tomato, the average soil moisture content of 0–40 cm with CK1 was 1.97% and 3.83% (spring and autumn, respectively) higher than that of MSPF, and the average soil temperature of 5–25 cm was 2.36% and 1.66% (spring and autumn, respectively) lower than that of MSPF. Compared with CK2, the average soil moisture content of 0–40 cm under MSPF increased by 8.30% and 3.83% (spring and autumn, respectively), and the average soil temperature of 5–25 cm under MSPF increased by 5.85% and 1.68% (spring and autumn, respectively). The spring and autumn tomato yield of MSPF was significantly higher than that of CK1 by 19.39% and 4.54%, respectively. The spring and autumn tomato yield of MSPF were higher than that of CK2 by about 20.46% and 49.22%, respectively. With an increase in the irrigation amount of MSPF, the soil moisture and yield of spring and autumn tomato increase; the soil temperature and water use efficiency of spring and autumn tomato decrease. Considered comprehensively, the MSPF can be used as one of the methods of greenhouse tomato micro-irrigation, and 1.0 Epan is recommended for irrigation parameters in northwest China facility agriculture.

The consumption of natural foods is increasingly high, and in recent years, consumers have preferred foods from systems with responsible management of natural resources (organic, hydroponic). However, there are still contradictions regarding the nutritional content of products from these different types of crops. Our study aims to compare, for the first time, the content of antioxidants (ascorbic acid, lycopene, total phenolics, essential fatty acids), micronutrients (copper, iron, manganese, zinc), contaminants (cadmium and lead), and free radical scavenging activity between conventional, organic, and hydroponic tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum) sold in markets in Quito, Ecuador. Ascorbic acid and lycopene were determined by HPLC/UV-Vis. Total phenolics (Folin–Ciocalteu method) and free-radical scavenging activity (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl method) were determined via UV-Vis spectrophotometry. Lipid profiles were determined as fatty acid methyl esters through a GC-FID. Trace metals were determined using FAAS (micronutrients), and GFAAS (pollutants). No significant differences (p > 0.05) between antioxidant and micronutrient content among the three types of tomatoes were found. Regarding cadmium and lead, the contents were below the Codex Alimentarius threshold limits. Finally, free radical scavenging activity varied slightly (organic > hydroponic > conventional). Although the samples showed certain differences in antioxidant content, none of the tomato types could be considered nutritionally better because of the high variability of the results.
