Abstract: In order to study the application effects of different irrigation strategies on cherry tomato, treatments of
low frequency with high amounts and high frequency with low amounts were set up by taking the cherry tomato cultivar
'Fengzhu' as the experiment material, the indexes of tomato plants' growth, fruit quality and yield were compared and
analyzed. The results showed that compared with treatment of low frequency with high amounts, treatment of high
frequency with low amounts could promote plant growth, the stem diameter, leaf width, leaf chlorophyll relative
content and average fruit weight increased by 16.4%, 13.1%, 8.4%, 13.3%, respectively. The contents of soluble
solids, vitamin C and lycopene increased by 6.4%, 7.0% and 20.6%, respectively, and the yield per 667 m2 and
profit per 667 m2
increased by 14.08% and 2 486.4 yuan, respectively. The mode of high frequency with low amounts
could not only promote plant growth, improve fruit taste, nutritional quality and yield, but also reduced the risk of
fertilizer leaching, which was helpful for scientific guidance for cherry tomato planting. |
