Özet
An experiment was conducted to determine the simultaneous relationship between radiation interception, evapotranspiration, plant development and yield of Tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum L.) grown at three different planting densities: I100 (100x33 cm, 30 303 plant per hectare), I50 (50x33 cm, 60 000 plant per hectare) and I30 (30x33cm, 101 010 plant per hectare). Irrigation treatments were designed according to the wetted percentage in the field. The wetted area was 33% for I100, 66% for I50, and 55% for I30. Comparing plant densities in terms of yield and plant development parameters, the findings indicated that a spacing of 50x33 cm was more suitable for tomato growth in fields at 60 000 plant per hectare since this interval probably provided cooler conditions at 30 cm in the soil profile, which also increased radiation use efficiency of the tomato. Hence, Radiation Utilization Efficiency in both fresh and dry weight (leaf+stem+fruit) was also higher with applied water of 950 mm and water consumption of 1263 mm in I50. In the three plant densities, a combination of 60 000 plant per hectare (50x33 cm) gave the best planting intervals for tomato in terms of plant growth and yield.
