Model-assisted analysis on the response of tomato fruit growth to source-sink ratio regulated by water and nitrogen by Huiping Zhou, Jinliang Chen, Shaozhong Kang

“…The simulation efficiency of fruit fresh and dry weights was in the range of 77.4 %-96.4 % and 72.9 %-92.9 % by the modified model, respectively. Model-assisted analysis showed that water supply could be reduced by 11.9 %, 27.0 % and 41.1 % at fruit early, middle and late stage together with a reduction of 27.5 % N application (saving investment of 131 $/ha), while ensuring the same fruit growth by considering water and nitrogen regulation on source-sink relation.…”
