Overview

Randomized trial demonstrates increased fruit quality in processing tomatoes, highlighting sustainable water use practices.

Key Points

  • Improved economic water productivity of 23.17% was observed, showcasing enhanced efficiency.
  • Regulated deficit irrigation significantly raised glucose and soluble solids contents by 17.78% and 10.17%, respectively.
  • Assessment using open-field experiments compared full irrigation with regulated deficit irrigation methods over two years in the Mediterranean region, focusing on crop impact and sustainability enhancements. Higher drought stress markers, proline and total polyphenols, were notably elevated in RDI-treated tomatoes, indicating stress resilience.
