Other claims from this paper (4)
- Method / resource The TGFS model performed well at simulating tomato organ dry mass and fruit soluble sugar and starch concentrations under different nitrogen and water inputs.
- Intervention effect Simulated increasing air temperature and CO2 concentration had no effect on tomato fruit sugar concentrations.
- Intervention effect In the context of climate change, decreasing N by 15%–25% and irrigation by 10%–20% relative to current levels is projected to increase tomato fresh weight by 27.8%–36.4%.
- Intervention effect The same reduced N and irrigation scenario is projected to increase tomato soluble sugar concentration by up to 10%.
