RESEARCH REGARDING THE WATER CONSUMPTION OF TOMATOES, GREEN PEPPER AND CUCUMBERS CULTIVATED IN SOLARIUMS

Abstract

In such conditions, saving water represents a very important aspect, both economically and socially. But in horticulture saving water must consider another very important aspect, that of providing food for a continuously growing population. So horticultors have the difficult task of obtaining big productions as well as saving water. Our research come to support the cultivators who grow tomatoes, green peppers and cucumbers in solariums. Determining precisely the water consumption of this species will create the possibility of avoiding both the excess and the lack of water of the tomatoes, green peppers and cucumbers grown in solariums, each of them having negative effects on production. Establishing the best water regime of this crop will lead to the application of optimum water quantities, at the right time and by the most efficient irrigation methods. This way, the cultivators will have the possibility of obtaining high productions, of superior quality, justified economically.
