| Sumario: | The tomato is a source of vitamins, minerals and bioactive substances beneficial to human health, has a wide range of use in fresh and is an important raw material for the processing industry. To increase its productivity, the crop has been involved in substrates, in which, irrigation is one of the most important factors to consider, since depending on the physicochemical properties of the growth medium and the water needs of the plant, It has an efficient use of water and fertilizers. Therefore, the objective of the present work was to evaluate the volume and frequency of irrigation depending on the water retention capacity of the substrate, as well as the drainage volume on the yield and quality of tomato fruit Zyanya variety. The research was conducted in Nayarit in 2013 and 2014. The treatments consisted of tezontle and mixture of tezontle with vermicompost as a substrate with irrigation to 80% of Steiner nutrient solution and the control was tezontle with irrigation to 100% of nutritive solution. The volume and frequency of irrigation was established according to the water retention capacity (CRA) of the tezontle. The yield, color, diameter, firmness, total soluble solids (TSS) and percentage of fruit acidity were evaluated. Significant differences were found in the variables evaluated. The yield was 149 t ha-1, the SST were between 4 and 5.17 ° Brix, the citric acid ranged from 0.33 to 0.535%. It was concluded that the vermicompost positively influenced the CRA, due to this there was greater availability of water and nutrients, consequently higher yield was obtained. |
