Default Overhead Watering/Reduced Yields

Hi All

From when I was knee-high to a grasshopper I heard everyone say that tomato plants should never be watered from overhead, always only at the base. The reason given was that the water would cause blossom drop and thereby reduce yield.

Is there any truth to this, or is it an old wives’ tale?

Cheers.
