Title : Yield response of fresh market tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill) to deficit irrigation

Citation : Rummun, K.; Teeluck, M.; Muthy, N. K.; Ah Koon, P. D.; Yield response of fresh market tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill) to deficit irrigation; 2004
Abstract : Lack of water is one of the main limiting factors in the production of tomato in Mauritius. The aim of this study was to assess the yield response of two popular tomato varieties MST 32/1 and Sirius to deficit irrigation. Two trials were carried out at Pamplemousses in 1999 and 2000. Results showed a curvilinear relationship (yield = -0.002x2 + 0.11x - 2.5; r2 = 0.88, x = water received) with about 300 mm of water giving the highest yield of 15.5 t ha-1. It was found that yield response to irrigation decreased markedly beyond the 0.75 ETc regime due to deep percolation losses and a decrease in the harvest index. Whether water is limiting or not, it may be better to irrigate at 0.75 ETc so as to limit the amount of rotten fruits and to optimise fruit size and quality as well as yield.

Citation : Chinappen, M.; Seewooruthun, S. I.; Ganeshan, S.; Preventive measures against the entry of the sugarcane white grub Hoplochelus marginalis (Coleoptera: Melolonthidae) into Mauritius; 2004
Abstract : The white grub Hoplochelus marginalis was reported for the first time in 1981 in Réunion Island. Strict quarantine measures have been taken to prevent entry of this pest into Mauritius. These include rescheduling of aircraft flights and movement of ships between the two islands during the active flight period of the adult beetles; chemical treatment around the airport and public awareness campaigns. These measures have been successful as the grub has not been detected in light trappings or soil samplings carried out every year. On several occasions, adult beetles have been intercepted on board aircraft or ships.
