Özet
This study was carried out to determine the most suitable irrigation scheduling of fresh market tomato (Fantastic-144) grown on volcanic ash, peat and their mixture (1:1) under Plastic house conditions at Alata Horticultural Research Institute in the Mediterranean Region of Turkey in 1998. The quality and yield response of Fantastic-144 to trickle irrigation was also investigated. Four different irrigation levels (WL1 = 75%, WL2 = 100%, WL3 = 125% and WL4 = 150% of Class A Pan evaporation) and two irrigation frequencies (once and twice daily applications) were evaluated. Highest yield and fruit number were obtained from the ash+peat (1:1) with irrigation once a day at WL4 and ash+peat (1:1) with twice a day watering at WL3 and WL4 irrigation levels. Soluble solids of tomato fruit decreased with increasing available water. The highest WUE value of 67.5 kg m-3 was obtained from WL1 with peat+ash (1:1). WUE decreased in all treatments as the amount of irrigation water increased. © 2006 Asian Network for Scientific Information.
