Abstract:
      By using the unique membrane filtration characteristics of trace irrigation pipe drip head, the trace pipes were embedded in the cultivation medium as drip irrigation belts. The feasibility of applying this model to the substrate cultivation conditions of cherry tomato in solar greenhouse and the effects of different arrangements on the growth, quality, yield and water production efficiency of cherry tomato were studied. The results showed the feasibility to use trace irrigation pipes as underground drip irrigation belts for substrate cultivation of cherry tomatoes. Different arrangements had certain effects on the growth, quality, yield, and water production efficiency of cherry tomato under substrate cultivation conditions, and there were certain differences among different treatments. The buried depth of trace pipe was 15 cm, which had the most obvious effects among all treatments. Compared with the surface substrate treatment, the plant height, stem diameter, fruit longitudinal diameter, fruit transverse diameter, fruit soluble solid content, yield and water production efficiency increased by 5.62%, 7.33%, 5.70%, 2.80%, 8.80%, 16.54% and 34.61%, respectively, when the trace tube buried depth was 15 cm. Under the conditions of substrate cultivation, trace irrigation pipes can be used as buried drip irrigation belts, and the burial depth of trace pipes are 15 cm, which is the most suitable burial depth for the substrate cultivation of cherry tomato in solar greenhouse under the test conditions.
