Water scarcity and climate change pose significant challenges to sustainable agriculture, emphasizing the need for optimized irrigation practices. This study evaluates impact of limited (0.45 L/day per plant) compared a control (0.87 on tomato fruit quality metabolic responses. Limited enhanced flavor by reducing pH from 4.2 3.4 improved cellular integrity, with electrolyte leakage decreasing 50% 26%. Antioxidant levels increased, vitamin C content rising 49 64 mg 100 g−1 FW, while glucose fructose accumulation contributed sweetness. Notably, suppressed ethylene biosynthesis, methionine, ACC, ACO activity, production, which are key regulators ripening senescence. suppression suggests potential extending shelf life delaying over-ripening. These findings underscore dual benefits irrigation: enhancing supporting water use. research provides viable strategy optimizing production postharvest in water-limited regions.
