Abstract
A greenhouse experiment was conducted to determine the effects of water regimes and root restrictions on growth and yield of tomato plants. The plants were grown in 2L and 6L pots containing mixture of coconut dust and peat were integrated with 300 ml and 600 ml/day. The availability of water gave more effect on photosynthesis stomatal conductance and yield of tomato rather than root zone volume. However the low water availability increased quality of fruits showed in increasing of total solube solids Brix. Almost all measurements determined gave a lower reading in 2L pots even at the same amount of given water. Effect of this two different water regims were clearly shown in total yields with 1900.7g 934.7g 377.4g and 388.0g for 6L 600ml 2L 600ml 2L 300ml and 2L 300ml/day respectively. From this experiment it could be concluded that the amount of water given to tomato plants were more important than root zone volume.
