Water and root zone — case design
Design for a commercial validation case on irrigation strategy and root zone management in tomato.
This is a case design, not an executed case. It will be replaced by real cases once available.
- Crop context
- Commercial tomato grower in Souss-Massa (exact location anonymised), existing plastic greenhouse.
- Reason
- High external water intake and uncertain drainage management.
- Intervention
- Water balance, drainage monitoring and adjusted irrigation scheduling; optional comparison of growing media.
- Method
- Baseline measurement during one reference period, followed by a comparable crop cycle with the intervention.
- Results
- No results yet. Results are shown only with a reference situation and measurement period.
- Learning points
- Which measurements growers can maintain themselves and what support is needed.
