TOMATO (Lycopersicon esculentum )

Tomato belongs to the Solanaceae family.
Optimum temperature for a correct development of tomato is between 20-30ºC during the day and 1-17ºC during the night.

Water management in a tomato crop is important, as productions decrease due to floodings. So, the application of sprinkling irrigation systems is recommended, as with this system the speed of water application is slower and we avoid this way the appearance of floods.

Sprinkling irrigation in tomato crops is similar to the natural rain if we consider application conditions. Sprinkling irrigation in tomato crops shows many advantages, as the following ones: the possibility to clean the surface of leaves thanks to the irrigation, improving this way the efficiency of tomato plants. Sprinkling irrigation also allows us to fight against frosts as well as to reduce the temperature of tomato plants and to fight against pests simply with the application of irrigation or even by adding to the irrigation water the phitosanitaries that the crop demands.

Sprinkling irrigation systems show many advantages against other irrigation systems, such as the durability and fiability, maintenance facility, independence on specialized manpower, easiness to storage, cost/ha of sprinkling irrigation, residual sale value and so on.

Tomato plants require for a good production well drained soils, rich in organic material and loose, of siliceous-clayey texture, it bears slightly both acidity and alkalinity and can bear slightly both the salinity from the soil as from the irrigation water.
