Abstract

Water demand is an important variable in tomato cultivation (Solanum lycopersicum L.). This study evaluates drip irrigation systems as a technological solution to address declining crop yields caused by unpredictable water availability. Drip irrigation is a highly efficient method of delivering water, achieving 80-95% efficiency because it delivers water directly to the plant's root zone. The results show that tomato plants watered through the drip system grew normally, producing wider leaves and more lateral shoots than those watered manually, which caused water stress. Drip irrigation benefits not only water quantity but also fruit quality, especially when combined with fertigation, which can increase vitamin C and lycopene content. This irrigation method also serves as an adaptive strategy to climate change and supports Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA). The use of soil moisture sensors and Internet of Things (IoT) technology can automate the drip irrigation system, ensuring water is applied according to the specific needs of the plants and saving up to 50% of water. Thus, drip irrigation is an effective technology for achieving stable and sustainable crop productivity.
