The dependence of yield and quality of tomato fruits from weather conditions

Abstract

The effect of weather factors on the yield and the quality indicators of tomatoes grown with drip irrigation is explored. Correlation analysis established a strong dependence of the amount of active temperatures for growing tomatoes and yield, standard products, dry matter in fruits. A strong positive relationship between the amount of precipitation during the growing and the level of nitrates in fruits was defined A weak correlation between the level of precipitation and yield was shown. A strong influence of relative humidity of air at the standard products and the level of nitrates, dry matter in fruits was found.
