Abstract:
【Objective】 To screen out the best irrigation method for screening soilless cultivation of cherry tomatoes with a view to providing a theoretical basis for the precise management of water fertilizer for soilless cultivation of cherry tomatoes.
【Methods】 With high-sugar cherry tomatoes as the experimental material, coconut bran as the cultivation matrix, different irrigation methods were set under the condition of consistent environmental conditions, and the effects of high plant height, stem thickness, leaf area, fresh weight, dry weight, soluble sugar, soluble protein, photosynthesis rate of different irrigation methods on soilless soil-cultivated cherry tomato morphology, quality, yield and photosynthesis were studied.
【Results】 The effects of each treatment on the growth, yield and quality of cherry tomatoes were different, among which, the cherry tomato fruit index, fruit quality, photosynthesis parameters and yield of the irrigation method combining drip irrigation and tidal irrigation were better than the drip irrigation and tidal irrigation methods.
【Conclusion】 The irrigation method combining drip irrigation with tidal irrigation is most beneficial to the growth of soilless cherry tomatoes.
