“…LAI results indicated good plant growth and are in agreement with the Pires et al (2009) and Andriolo et al (2003). Harmanto et al (2005) and Pires et al (2009) reported higher LAI values than those observed in the present study, which might be due to the old leaf removal procedure to keep plants clean and avoid the incidence of diseases. Besides, Harmanto et al (2005) did not observe any positive effect of different irrigation frequencies (once or thrice a day) on the LAI of plants grown in soils with high organic matter content, which have different water retentions as compared to coconut fiber.…”

“…Harmanto et al (2005) did not observe any effect of once or thrice a day irrigation frequency on cherry tomato production (Troy 489 hybrid). On the other hand, Ismail et al (2008) observed increases in tomato yield with higher daily irrigation frequency compared to once-a-day irrigation when plants were grown in soil conditions.…”

“…Tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum L.) are susceptible to pests and diseases, and plant health is affected by water and nutrient supply (Harmanto et al, 2005). Intensive soil cultivation in greenhouses causes cropping failure related to soil salinity and plant health.…”

“…For this reason, advanced greenhouse cultivation has changed the substrate for growth by using inert substrates instead of soil (Sezen et al, 2010) and supplying nutrients by fertigation (Fandi et al, 2008). Appropriate substrate and rational water and nutrient supply by drip fertigation has benefited the yield and quality of tomatoes (Harmanto et al, 2005;Mahajan and Singh, 2006;Ismail et al, 2008;Pires et al, 2009) and contributed to environmental preservation (Berjón et al, 2005).…”

Tomato cropping (Solanum lycopersicum L.) under protected cultivation using substrates and drip fertigation has improved sustainable production systems especially fruit quality and plant health. However, little is known for tomato plants when considering the interaction between substrate volume and irrigation frequency. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) fiber substrate volumes and drip irrigation frequencies on the vegetative growth and fruit yield of tomato plants under greenhouse conditions. The experimental design consisted of randomized blocks arranged in a 3 × 2 factorial with four replicates. Treatments consisted of three substrate volumes (5.0; 7.5 and 10.0 L per plant) and two irrigation frequencies (once and five times per day). Leaf area index tended to increase in plants grown with the largest substrate volume (10 L). Although substrate volumes affected shoot dry matter, no effects on tomato yield and its components were observed. However, plants grown with 5 L of substrate and irrigated once a day produced a greater number of non-marketable fruit due to the higher incidence of calcium deficiency symptoms (blossom end rot). When plants were grown in 5 L or 7.5 L of substrate volume, high irrigation frequency favored the vegetative growth, stomatal conductance, CO 2 assimilation and transpiration and fruit yield. Fruit yield and healthy fruits were favored by high irrigation frequency and did not depend on the substrate volume.

“…Several studies on estimation of water requirement and crop coefficient have been conducted for open field crops like Cotton (Abdelhadi et al [9] Fisher [10]), Maize (Akinmutimi, [11] Chuanyan and Zhongren [12]), Onion and Spinach (Piccinni et al [13]) Okra (Odofin et al [14] Tiwari et al [3]), Capsicum (Miranda et al [15] Tyagi et al [17] Teff (Araya et al [18]), Sapota (Tiwari et al [4]), Jujube (Hu et al [19]), Pomegranate (Parvizi et al [20]) and greenhouse crops like Tomato (Maldonado et al [21] Gómez et al [22], Wahb-Allah et al [23] Harmanto et al [24]), Eggplant Senyigit et al [25] Melon, Green beans, Watermelon and Pepper (Orgaz et al [26]), Gladiolus (Bastug et al [27]), Cucumber (Zhang et al [28] and Blanco and Folegatti [29]) However, limited studies are found on cultivation of rose crop under greenhouse conditions (Ehret et al [30] Katsoulas et al [31]) and no literature is reported for the estimation of water requirement and crop coefficient of Dutch roses under greenhouse conditions. Therefore, the present study have been undertaken to determine the crop coefficient and water requirement of Dutch rose under greenhouse and open field conditions.…”

Improving water productivity can make a sterling contribution to global food production and poverty alleviation. Groundwater has always been a critical resource for agriculture. Scientific understanding of water productivity can help address water scarcity concerns through more productive use of scarce water resources and higher socio‐economic benefits from available water. This study examined the water productivity in the Al Batinah region of Oman using farm‐level data. In total 124 crops grown during the 4 years 2005–2008 were examined. Field studies were carried out for 4 years (2005–2008) on 18 field plots to examine yield, inputs, irrigation, costs and economic return of sweet melon, sweet pepper, cabbage and tomatoes grown under drip irrigation vs Rhodes grass grown under sprinkler irrigation using groundwater. The aim was to identify suitable combinations of vegetable crops grown under drip irrigation that can maximize the profitability of the farmers by optimizing water productivity. Results from the 4‐year data show that tomato and cabbage performed better than sweet pepper or melon as far as water productivity was concerned, while the drip irrigation method had shown better performance than sprinkler irrigation. Average crop water productivity was estimated at 7.8 and 11.9 kg m‾3 for the cabbage and tomato crops, respectively. The cabbage crop also gave the highest gross return of RO105 for each riyal Omani (RO 1.00 = US$2.59 in June, 2005) of investment in irrigation water. It has also been analysed that the drip irrigation system performed better in terms of crop water productivity and economic water productivity per cubic metre of water applied. So the research results represent decision‐making options of vegetable growers at farm scale but also offer important insights for the adoption of the drip irrigation system as well as the design of water policy incentives for irrigation modernization in Oman and other water‐scarce regions.
