| Description | 36A field experiment was conducted at the plasticulture farm of Department of Irrigation Water Management Engineering, College of Technology of Agriculture Engineering, Udaipur, Rajasthan, to evaluate the water requirement of tomato crop inside the shade net house. The experiment was set in randomized block design with four deficit irrigation treatments [drip irrigation with 100%, 80%, 60% and 40% of crop evapotranspira- tion $(ET_{c}$)] and five replications under a shade net house. Tomato (Lyco- persicon esculentum Mill, badshah variety) plants were grown under the shade net house of 50% shade. The crop water requirement of tomato crop inside the shade net house was determined by gravimetric method. The study reveals that the actual water requirement for drip irrigated tomato crop in semiarid region inside the shade net house could be recommended between 1.62 and 4.58 mm $day^{−1}$. A field experiment was conducted at the plasticulture farm of Department of Irrigation Water Management Engineering, College of Technology of Agriculture Engineering, Udaipur, and Rajasthan, to evaluate the water requirement of tomato crop inside the shade net house. Tomato is an important vegetable crop grown worldwide for both fresh and processing markets. Protected cultivation techniques, including net house technology, provides an optimum environmental medium for better crop growth in order to get maximum yield and high-quality products. Deficit irrigation is a strategy that allows the crop to sustain some degree of water deficit in order to reduce costs and potentially increase income. To achieve satisfactory water requirement, irrigations are required for the entire growing season in processing tomato cultivated under the shade net house. Based on the results obtained from the investigation, it has been concluded that the crop water requirement inside the shade net house of drip irrigated tomato crop was 495.0 mm.
