  • Cultivation of irrigated tomatoes with ozonised water under a Mediterranean climate in Algeria [Elektronski vir]
    Benali, Fouzia ...
    This study presents the results of an experimen-tal work carried out on tomato seedlings of the same varietal type, grown under a Mediterranean climate and irrigated with ozonised water at different ... ozonisation durations that vary from zero to 30 seconds. In order to assess the impact of aqueous ozone on the agronomic performances and the physicochemi-cal characteristics of fruits. The tomatoes responded differently between themselves and the control batch. The results obtained showed precocity of germination, an increase in growth, devel-opment, and vigour in the experimental plants compared to the controls. The yield is proportional to the increase in the ozoni-sation time of irrigation water. During the reproductive phase of the plants, no negative effects were observed. The physico-chemical characteristics of fruits could be evaluated; they are distinguished from higher sugar contents in the experimental tomatoes compared to controls, no great difference for the oth-er criteria analysed, the latter were generally in accordance with the standardized values of the literature as well as with the ap-plicable national regulations. Ozonisation of irrigation water is an effective and promising alternative method, which improves germination time and increases fruit yield without negatively affecting their marketability.
