Cherry tomatoes producing became interesting from the aspect of watering volume and growing design on growth, yield, and quality of cherry tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum var cerasiforme). The research aimed to determine watering volume, growing design, and cultivars` effect on cherry tomatoes` growth, yield, and quality (Solanum lycopersicum var cerasiforme). The research was conducted at the Bale Tatanen and Field Laboratory of the Faculty of Agronomy Department of Agriculture, University of Padjadjaran in Jatinangor from December 2022 – July 2023. The method used explorative experiments and data analyzed by RCBD factorial followed by Tukey Post Hoc Test. The investigation consisted of three factors: the first factor was growing designs consisting of 3 levels (Greenhouse (GH), Rain shelter (RS), Screen house (SH)), the second factor was watering volume (100% Evapotranspiration component (ETc), 75% ETc, 50% ETc) consisting of 3 levels and third factor was cherry tomato cultivars comprised of 2 levels (Ruby & Fortesa). All treatments were replicated thrice, and each treatment was planted in four polybag containers; the total number of plants was 108. The parameters recorded throughout the experiment included cherry tomato cultivars` growth, yield, and quality. The result showed that (1) main effect of watering volume was significant of 100% ETc in growth rate, fruit diameter, root length, shoot length, glucose, Total sweetness index, lightness, chroma, elasticity, titratable acid, lycopene, antioxidant activity and capacity, vitamin C, Total soluble sugar. total carotenoid (75% ETc), HUE angle value (75% and 50% ETc), and flavonoid (50% ETc). (2) Growing design was significantly affected by the growth rate (GH), plant height (RS), amount of fruit/plant (GH), fruit yield/plant (GH), root shoot ratio (SH), fructose (GH), glucose (GH), Total sweetness index (GH), firmness (GH), elasticity (GH), titratable acid (GH), phenolic (GH), flavonoid (RS), total carotenoid (SH), β-carotene (RS, SH), lycopene (SH), antioxidant activity (RS). (3) Cultivar significantly affected on fruit diameter (fortesa), single fruit weight (fortesa), fruit yield per plant (Fortesa), biomass (Fortesa), antioxidant activity (Ruby), antioxidant capacity (Fortesa) and elasticity (Ruby) of cherry tomatoes. (4) The interaction between Cultivar and Growing design factors affected plant height, fruit diameter, root length, root shoot ratio, glucose, elasticity, phenolic, antioxidant activity, and vitamine C. The significant interaction between the cultivar and watering volume factors occurred on stem diameter, fruit diameter, glucose, total sweetness index, elasticity, phenolic, flavonoid, antioxidant activity, and antioxidant capacity. The interaction between two factors of watering volume and growing design occurs in the growth rate, amount of fruit per plant, fruit yield per plant, root length, shoot length, root shoot ratio, glucose, chroma, elasticity, flavonoid, β-carotene, antioxidant activity, and total soluble sugar. The interaction of those three factors treatments occurred on the amount of fruit per plant and root shoot ratio (ruby in greenhouse with 100% ETc), fruit yield per plant (fortesa in the greenhouse with 100% ETc), flavonoids (ruby in screen house with 50% ETc), total carotenoid (fortesa in screen house with 75% ETc) and β-carotene (ruby in screen house with 75% ETc).Cherry tomatoesgrowth and yieldproductivityWATERING VOLUME, GROWING DESIGN AND CULTIVARS EFFECT ON GROWTH, YIELD AND QUALITY OF CHERRY TOMATO (Solanum lycopersicum cerasiforme)
