Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect The combination of 75% ETc and 230 kg/ha nitrogen gave the tallest tomato plants.
- Intervention effect The combination of 75% ETc and 230 kg/ha nitrogen gave the highest tomato branch number.
- Intervention effect Soil moisture and nitrogen levels significantly affected tomato height, branch count and fruit size.
- Intervention effect Soil moisture and nitrogen levels significantly affected tomato fruit length, marketable yield and fruit quality.
- Intervention effect Soil moisture and nitrogen levels significantly affected nitrogen use efficiency and water use efficiency of tomato.
- Intervention effect The combination of 75% ETc and 184 kg/ha nitrogen gave the highest tomato fruit diameter and length.
- Intervention effect The interaction of 75% ETc and 184 kg/ha N gave the highest marketable tomato yields.
- Intervention effect Applying 50% ETc with 184 and 138 kg/ha nitrogen gave higher water use efficiency.
- Intervention effect The interaction of 92 kg/h nitrogen and soil moisture at all levels gave the maximum AUE.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen at 138 and 184 kg/ha gave the maximum PFP, with no significant difference between the two rates.
- Intervention effect Excessive nitrogen rates above 184 kg/ha did not increase tomato yield and WUE.
- Intervention effect Excessive nitrogen rates above 184 kg/ha increased tomato plant height and branch number.
