The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of different water supply conditions (regulated deficit - RDI, partial root drying -PRD and full irrigation - FI) on the yield, water use efficiency and fruit quality in tomato plants. Obtained results showed that partial root drying and regulated deficit irrigation reduced yield by 18% compared to control plants. Also, these methods of irrigation increased water use efficincy and reduced quantity of water for irrigation by 40%. Partial root drying and regulated deficit irrigation increased quality of fruit (especially sugar and organic acid content). These results showed that it was possible to increase fruit quality and to save water for irrigation without significant reduction yield.
