Intervention effect Low transpiration with high EC reduced tomato size and yield by 15 percent relative to 2 dS/m.
Observation Under low transpiration, incidence of blossom-end rot was only 2 percent.
Intervention effect Dry matter and sugar content of tomato fruit were higher under high EC than under 2 dS/m.
