- Intervention effect Water stress significantly decreased fruit weight.
- Intervention effect Water stress significantly decreased fruit length.
- Intervention effect Water stress significantly decreased fruit width.
- Intervention effect Water stress significantly decreased flesh fruit thickness.
- Intervention effect Water stress significantly decreased total yield per plant.
- Intervention effect Water deficit significantly increased total soluble solids.
- Observation Cultivars differed markedly across estimated characters in both seasons.
- Association Irrigation level interacted significantly with cultivar for all studied traits.
- Association Cultivars with the highest yield without stress also had the highest yield under stress.
- Observation Kahera-6 improved was relatively stress susceptible.
- Observation Albasosi was more tolerant and stable.
- Recommendation The authors suggest further testing of Albasosi for drought characteristics.
