At 50% field capacity, fruit yield fell 52% in experiment 2.
Solanum lycopersicumVerbatim
e0“Severe soil moisture deficit of 50% FC caused a 67 and 52% reduction in fruit yield, 11 and 11% reduction in fruit length, 25 and 29% decrease in leaf relative water content, while total soluble solids content was increased by 38 and 49% compared with 100% FC in Experiments 1 and 2, respectively”

- Intervention effect At 50% field capacity, fruit yield fell 67% in experiment 1.
- Intervention effect Fruit length fell 11% under severe deficit in both experiments.
- Intervention effect Leaf relative water content fell 25% in experiment 1.
- Intervention effect Leaf relative water content fell 29% in experiment 2.
- Intervention effect Total soluble solids increased 38% in experiment 1.
- Intervention effect Total soluble solids increased 49% in experiment 2.
- Intervention effect Soil drench at 5 mL/L raised yield 225% at 50% FC.
- Intervention effect Foliar spray at 5 mL/L raised yield 271% at 50% FC.
- Intervention effect Untreated plants had lower water productivity at all soil moisture levels.
- Intervention effect Water productivity was greatest at 5 mL/L across moisture levels.
- Observation A 5 mL/L soil drench produced 523.3 g per plant yield.
- Observation A 5 mL/L foliar spray produced 397.1 g per plant yield.
- Recommendation The authors recommend 5 mL/L ASE for tomato.
