Drip irrigation boosts cherry tomato yield and quality, cuts fertilizer use
The study looked at how different ways of watering and fertilizing cherry tomatoes affected their growth and quality. Drip irrigation helped cherry tomatoes grow better than traditional border irrigation. Drip irrigation made the plants use water and fertilizer more efficiently, needing less nitrogen fertilizer. Adding more nitrogen fertilizer increased the cherry tomato yield, but too much could harm the plants. Overall, using nitrogen fertilizer wisely with drip irrigation can improve the quality of cherry tomatoes.
