High temperatures can lead to reduced fruit set and quality, while low temperatures can slow down growth and development. Studies have shown that regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) can help manage water use efficiency and improve fruit quality under varying temperature conditions (Lu et al 2019). Additionally, substrate-based cultivation systems have been found to enhance plant growth and yield by providing a controlled environment that optimizes temperature and humidity levels (Guo et al., 2022; Guo, 2024). Cherry tomatoes are adaptable to a range of climatic conditions, but they perform best in regions with moderate temperatures and low humidity. High humidity levels can increase the risk of fungal diseases, which can negatively impact yield and fruit quality. Effective climate adaptability strategies include the use of grafting techniques to improve disease resistance and the selection of appropriate rootstocks that can withstand varying environmental conditions (Naik et al., 2021). Furthermore, optimizing irrigation and fertilizer inputs can help mitigate the effects of climate variability and enhance the sustainability of cherry tomato production (Guo et al., 2021).Therefore, many places adopt facility greenhouses to regulate temperature and temperature, in order to advance the cherry tomato picking time and improve the quality of cherry tomatoes, thereby increasing planting efficiency (Figure 2).

High-quality seeds are typically characterized by their genetic purity, high germination rates, and resistance to common diseases. For instance, the use of biostimulants such as seaweed extracts has been shown to enhance seed germination rates and early seedling vigor. The application of Ulva flexuosa extract, for example, significantly improved seed germination and early growth parameters, leading to higher biomass and better overall plant health (Chanthini et al., 2019). This suggests that integrating biostimulants into seed treatment protocols can be a valuable strategy for improving seed quality and subsequent plant performance. Moreover, seed priming techniques, which involve pre-soaking seeds in solutions containing nutrients or growth stimulants, have been found to enhance seedling vigor and stress tolerance. Studies have demonstrated that priming seeds with specific biostimulants can lead to improved root development and early growth, which are crucial for the establishment of healthy plants (Polo and Mata, 2018). These techniques not only improve the initial growth stages but also contribute to higher yields and better fruit quality in the long term.
