- Intervention effect Charleston grey irrigated by drip gave the highest total economic yield of 4.95 mg/ha in the long rain season.
- Observation Average fruit weight was 6.07 kg in the short rain season.
- Observation Average fruit weight was 7.42 kg in the long rain season.
- Observation The highest net benefit in the short rain season was US$ 493.3/ha.
- Observation The highest net benefit in the long rain season was 706.1/ha.
- Intervention effect A 2 or 4-week drip supplemental irrigation starter boosted Charleston grey yields by 1.78-fold when water stress occurred in late vegetative growth.
