Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Partial rootzone drying significantly reduced tomato leaf water potential and photosynthetic rate relative to full irrigation.
- Intervention effect Partial rootzone drying significantly reduced fresh and dry fruit mass compared with full irrigation.
- Intervention effect Partial rootzone drying improved irrigation water use efficiency.
- Intervention effect A lower fraction of dry mass was partitioned into PRD fruit.
- Intervention effect PRD fruit had lower water content than full-irrigation fruit.
- Intervention effect PRD fruit had higher total soluble solids concentration than full-irrigation fruit.
- Intervention effect Fruit skin color did not differ across irrigation treatments.
- Intervention effect Blossom-end rot incidence was higher in PRD fruit than full-irrigation fruit.
- Intervention effect Fruit calcium concentration was the same under PRD and full irrigation.
- Intervention effect PRD saved 50% irrigation water.
- Recommendation The authors consider PRD feasible where irrigation water is scarce and expensive.
