Climatic change and its impact on tomato (lycopersicum esculentum l.) production in plain area of Nepal
2021, Environmental ChallengesCitation Excerpt :It was insisted that higher level of humidity indicated by the low vapor pressure deficit reduces the growth of tomato crop, further in the extreme cases it might cause death of the apical region of tomato plants (Acock et al., 1976). Yield of tomatoes may be reduced significantly when tomato is exposed to low humidity along with low calcium supply or excess salinity which causes increment in the blossom-end rot incidence (Bradfield and Gurrridge 1984; Ehret and Ho, 1986). Analysis of historical weather data of South west Italy showed that, the transplanting month of tomato is getting hotter and drier and the rise in temperature has induced a shortening of the phenology (Cammarano et al., 2020).
The Hidden Costs of Nighttime Warming on Yields
2020, Trends in Plant ScienceCitation Excerpt :There is evidence, however, for strong and negative effects of an increase in VPDNight on calcium uptake and export to plant tissues, including reproductive organs, presumably due to its naturally higher rates of translocation during the nighttime relative to the daytime [76]. In tomato, [77] reported a decrease in calcium contents in the fruit by up to 66% as a result of relatively small increases in VPDNight, from 0.26 to 0.76 kPa. Similarly, in lettuce (Lactuca sativa), [78] reported a decrease in leaf Ca by over 33% as a result of increasing VPDNight from 0.07 to 0.15 kPa.
