Economic irrigation schedule boosts greenhouse tomato yield and income by 17.7%
The researchers studied how to water greenhouse tomatoes efficiently using drip irrigation under plastic mulch. They found the right temperature, water levels, and dry matter for tomato growth. By following their economic irrigation schedule, tomato yield and income increased significantly. The irrigation amount decreased, and soil moisture levels were more stable. This means that by using the right amount of water, greenhouse tomatoes can grow better and be more profitable.
