Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect In situ water-holding capacity was significantly higher in the organic system at all times and depths except 45-60 cm.
- Intervention effect Cumulative water infiltration after 3 h in the organic and low-input cover crop-based plots was more than twice that of the conventional system.
- Intervention effect Low-input and organic systems resulted in increased total irrigation needs.
- Intervention effect Low-input and organic systems stored more water in the soil profile throughout the 30 days before harvest.
- Intervention effect Fruit soluble solids and titratable acidity were lower in the low-input and organic systems than in the conventional system.
- Intervention effect Tomato yields were not significantly different among the organic, low-input and conventional systems in 1997 or 1998.
