The GQI under BS75+C reached 0.669, which was higher than that of the other treatments, and showed a highly significant positive correlation with tomato yield ( P < 0.05).
The GQI under BS75+C reached 0.669, which was higher than that of the other treatments, and showed a highly significant positive correlation with tomato yield ( P < 0.05).
Additionally, across all experimental treatments, LA, LAR, SLA, and LAI exhibited an increasing trend from seedling stage to fruiting stage of tomatoes, reaching the maximum values at fruiting stage, which was consistent with previous studies ( Chai et al., 2023 ; Wu et al., 2013 ; Zhang et al., 2022 ).
Throughout the entire tomato growing stages, both RBR and RSR under CF, BS75, FR+C, and BS100+C treatments showed a decreasing trend as plant growth stage progressed, whereas the other treatments followed a “decrease-increase” pattern.
