“…The practice of partial root zone drying in irrigation increases water use efficiency of processing tomato without significant negative effects on yield [4]. Furthermore poor water quality and water deficit are the main factors affecting yield and tomato quality in terms of nutritional value and food safety [5].…”

A two-year (2010 and 2011) open field experiment was conducted to study the effect of drip irrigation and seasonal variation on the yield parameters and main bioactive components, carotenoids (mainly all trans, cis lycopene, and β-carotene), polyphenols (chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, gallic acid, quercetin, rutin, naringin, etc.), and tocopherols of processing Strombolino F1 cherry tomatoes. The irrigated plants (STI) gave a higher marketable yield (61% and 101% respectively), and rain fed plants showed a yield loss. Water supply had a strong positive (R2=0.98) effect on marketable yield in 2011, but weak (R2=0.69) in 2010. In both years, the antioxidant concentration (all carotenoids, total polyphenols, tocopherols) showed a decrease with irrigation. Water supply affected the composition of carotenoids to a considerable extent. The optimum water supply treatment gave a lower proportion of lycopene than the rain fed control (STC) treatment. We observed significant negative correlation between rutin concentration and irrigation. The α-tocopherol concentration was significantly higher in STC treatments. Irrigation negatively influenced antioxidant concentrations of cherry tomato fruits, but higher yield could account for the concentration loss of individual fruits by higher antioxidant production per unit area.

“…In addition, the growing water scarcity emphasizes the need for efficient use of water for crop irrigation (Hsiao et al, 2007). Subsurface drip irrigation utilizes less water than most other types of irrigation, mainly through reduced soil evaporation, but also as the water requirements of plants can be met more precisely (Ayars et al, 1999;Battilani et al, 2009a;Shahnazari et al, 2007). An additional advantage of subsurface drip irrigation is the reduced risk of crop contamination and reduced direct exposure to farm workers when wastewater is used for irrigation (Armon et al, 2002;Song et al, 2006).…”

“…Utilization of potential maximum yields is not feasible without satisfying the crop's water demand. Other water-saving solutions, such as partial root zone drying in processing tomato (Battilani et al, 2009), are not feasible for sprinkler irrigation. Deficit irrigation is a water-saving concept where irrigation water does not cover 100% of crop evapotranspiration.…”

“…This method reduces potential biomass and yield, but the improved quality and the amount of water saved may be more beneficial (Patanè et al, 2011). Other water-saving solutions, such as partial root zone drying in processing tomato (Battilani et al, 2009), are not feasible for sprinkler irrigation.…”

Centre pivot machines, with a variable rate irrigation (VRI) package that provides individual sprinkler control systems (VRI iS), are not common. This research focuses on how uniform the water distribution is under VRI control, and on the size of over‐ and under‐irrigated areas and volumes. Moreover, we wanted to know how wide transition zones are. We conducted different uniformity measurements using common rain gauges for measuring water application depths. Besides grid shape and radial direction measurements for uniformity, perpendicular measuring lines to borders were set to evaluate transition zones. In a processing tomato deficit irrigation experiment, we investigated how different plant properties react to different water depths. Results showed that very good uniformity is achievable both in the IR100 and IR50 application rates, but the former showed higher uniformity. CUC ranged from 91.8 to 92.9% and 88.8 to 90.8% in the IR100 and IR50 rates respectively. The highest RMSE was 2.65 mm. The amount of over‐ and under‐irrigation was not significant. Transition zones were not equally wide; 9 m was enough for transition widthways between the IR100 and IR50 rates, but was wider longitudinally. This technology is suitable for conducting deficit irrigation experiments, but consideration of transition zones is important at plant sampling. © 2018 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
