Abstract
Regardless, the irrigation method, mixed water management practice gave higher growth and yield than alternate irrigation. Moreover growth and yield were high in alternate practice only with fresh water, whereas moderate saline irrigation waters in mixed practice gave the highest values of yield and growth. Thus, the highest yield obtained (3.2Â kg/plant) was the result of the combination of drip system and mixed management practice using a ratio of 60% fresh water with 40% saline water. There was a strong negative relationship between tomato yield and seasonal average of electrical conductivity of the soil solution.
