dc.description.abstract | The water needs for tomato crops are very high and could limit the viability of cultivation
in semiarid environments. There is no agreement among works on irrigation regarding the sensibility
of the flowering period. In addition, there is a lack of studies about the effects of water stress on
fruit and cluster development under severe water stress. The aim of this work was to evaluate the
effect of water stress and rehydration during cluster development. The experiment was conducted in
a greenhouse (Seville, Spain) in two different growth cycles (autumn 2021 and spring 2022) using
three different cultivars. Two irrigation treatments were applied: a control, with full irrigated
conditions, and severe stress, without irrigation during the development of the fifth cluster (43 days
(autumn) and 21 days (spring) after transplantation) followed by rehydration. Plant height was
significantly decreased, by approximately 10%, in the irrigation treatment during the autumn cycle,
however, not in spring. A delayed cluster emergence occurred, however, the final number per plant
at the end of the experiment was the same when rehydration was applied (73 and 56 days after
transplanting). In the autumn cycle, only the fruit size was considerably affected, with more than a
50% reduction on some dates, though not in the first cluster. However, the extremely severe water
stress during the spring cycle, with strong defoliation, reduced the number (around 50%) and size
(around 40%) of the fruit. Total soluble solids increased only on isolated dates of the harvest in
the stress plants. The response of cherry cultivars to water stress was similar in terms of quality
parameters. Fruit size was the most sensitive yield component, and no recovery was detected at
harvest after rehydration. The effect of severe water stress was different depending on the evaporative
demand and, more importantly, on fruit size. | es |
