When Tomatoes Hit the Winter: A Counterattack to Overwinter Production in Soft-Shell Solar Greenhouses in North China by Hongrun Liu, He Zhao, Song Liu, Yanan Tian, Wei Li, Binghua Wang, Xiaoyi Hu, Dan Sun, Tianqun Wang, Shangjun Wu, Fudong Wang, Ning Zhu, Yuan Tao, Xihong Lei

“…Field experiments monitored microclimate data in soft-shell solar greenhouses during different growth stages of six cherry tomato and three large tomato varieties, combined with yield, quality, and economic return analysis. The results showed that (1) soft-shell greenhouses increased average daily temperatures by 10–15 °C, reduced low-temperature stress duration by 25%, achieved 82% light saturation compliance, and decreased humidity fluctuations by 23%; (2) the yield per cluster of cherry tomatoes increased first and then decreased for early maturing varieties, and decreased for middle and late maturing varieties, while the yield of large tomatoes decreased first and then increased; (3) light intensity was positively correlated with Brix accumulation, and humidity was negatively correlated with yield; (4) cherry tomato yields were more temperature-sensitive, whereas large-fruited tomatoes were more influenced by light intensity; (5) a “variety optimization + scenario-based sales” model integrating multi-cultivar layouts and gift-box marketing strategies improved economic returns. …”
