Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Increasing irrigation frequency from one to three irrigations per day significantly increased dry matter yield in tomato.
- Intervention effect A seasonal application of 620 mm did not increase dry fruit yield compared with 320 mm, both applied as one irrigation per day.
- Intervention effect A seasonal application of 620 mm increased fresh fruit yield by a factor of 1.46 compared with 320 mm.
- Observation Root weight declined at the time of fruit filling under once-a-day irrigation.
- Observation Irrigating three times a day avoided the root weight decline and gave fruit dry matter production at a higher rate.
- Intervention effect Irrigating three times a day produced a greater final dry matter yield.
- Observation After the rapid fruit filling period, all treatments had a period of slow dry matter production followed by an enhanced production rate.
