TOMATO VARIETY TRIAL RESULTS FOR FALL 1991

T. K. Howe, J. W. Scott and W. E. Waters'

Seventeen fresh market tomato varieties or breeding lines were evaluated in a
replicated yield trial in the fall of 1991 at the Gulf Coast Research and
Education Center in Bradenton, FL. In addition, fifty-nine breeding lines and
varieties were evaluated visually (no harvest) in observational plots.

MATERIAL AND METHODS
Bed Preparation: Soil in the trial area was sampled before field preparation and
analyzed by the IFAS Soil Testing Lab: ph=6.5, water extractable (saturated paste
procedure) (3), elements P=6, K=5, Mg=30, and Ca=184 ppm. Raised beds of
EauGallie fine sand were formed on August 6. The 32-inch wide, 8-inch high beds
were spaced on 5-ft centers with 6 beds between seepage irrigation ditches.
Fertilizer included 15-0-30-2 (N-P20O-K20-MgO) at 1917 lb/A (Acre = 8712 linear
feet of bed) distributed into 2 narrow bands in shallow grooves on the bed
surface 10 inches to each side of the bed center. In addition, a banded false
bed application of superphosphate (0-20-0 with 80 lbs per ton minor elements as
F503) at 523 lb/A was made. This fertilizer regime provided a 1:2 ratio of N:K20
with approximately 288 lb N/A. Beds were fumigated with methyl
bromide:chloropicrin (67%:33%) at 189 lb/mulched A (mulched A = 23,522 sq ft) and
mulched with white on black polyethylene film.

Transplant Production: Seeds were sown on July 10 into wooden flats containing
an inert processed product of spent coal, and lightly covered with coarse
vermiculite. Seedlings were transferred 9 days later into planter flats (1.5 x
1.5 x 2.5-inch cells) containing vermiculite and Canadian peat (1:1, v:v) amended
with superphosphate, dolomite and hydrated lime (11.3 lb, 5.6 lb and 2.8 Ib/cu
yd, respectively).

Crop Production: Transplants were set in the field August 20 spaced 28.5 inches
apart in single rows in the center of each bed, and drenched with 20-20-20 liquid
fertilizer at 3.0 lb/100 gal water. Four replications of 10 plants per entry
were arranged in a randomized complete block design for the harvested trial, and
single 10-plant plots were used for the observational trial. Plants were staked
and tied without pruning.


'Research Program Coordinator and Center Director, respectively.









Plots were scouted for insect control throughout the season. Sweetpotato
whitefly, pinworm, leafminer and lepidopterous larvae were the primary insects
found. Permethrin, endosulfan, oxamyl, esfenvalerate, methomyl, fenpropathrin,
avermectin, methamidophos, insecticidal soap and Bacillus thuringiensis were
applied as needed following label instructions. A spray program utilizing
mancozeb, tribasic copper and chlorothalonil was followed for bacterial spot,
target spot, and as general controls for other fungal diseases. Paraquat was
applied between the beds for weed control.

Fruit of the replicated trial entries (Table 2) were harvested at the mature-
green stage (or beyond) on November 4, 14 and 25, 1991. Tomatoes were graded as
cull or marketable by U.S. standards for grades (1) and marketable fruits were
sized by machine as: medium, large and extra large according to commercial
standards (see footnotes in Tables 2-4 for specifications). Both cull and
marketable fruit were counted and weighed. Plant stands for the replicated trial
were 100%.

Subjective ratings for various categories defining plant and fruit
characteristics were given to observational tomato entries in the replicated and
observational trials at the end of the season when red ripe fruit were on the
vine (Table 6).

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Weather information for the season compared to the 38-year averages (6) is in
Table 1. Temperatures were close to normal for the entire production period.
Rainfall was much less than the 38-year averages for the entire season. Symptoms
of the Tomato Mottle Geminivirus were obvious in the production area from near
the beginning of the season, and were generally moderate and distributed through
the field randomly (Table 2).
Seasonal: Total marketable yields for the season (Table 2) ranged from 584
cartons/A for 'Colonial' to 1702 cartons/A for IFAS 7430. Yields were generally
lower than the yields of the 1988 fall trial at this location (4) and greater
than the yields of the 1990 fall trial (5), but slightly greater than the
commercial production for the Palmetto Ruskin area (2) in the 1989-90 season.
This was despite the moderate to severe viral symptoms present in the trial area,
although a detailed diagnosis of the viral organisms was not made. Nine other
entries were not significantly different in total seasonal yield than IFAS 7430,
they were: IFAS 7249B, IFAS 7264, 'Merced', 'Heatwave', IFAS 7427, NVH 4466, IFAS
7375, 'Solar Set' and IFAS 7267.

Extra-large fruit yield ranged from 153 cartons/A for 'Colonial' to 619 cartons/A
for IFAS 7430. Eleven other entries were similar to IFAS 7430 in yield of extra-
large fruit. They were: IFAS 7264, 'Merced', IFAS 7427, 'Heatwave', IFAS 7249B,
NVH 4466, 'Solar Set', IFAS 7267, XPH 5796, 'Tango' and 'Sunbeam'. Large fruit
yield ranged from 181 cartons/A for 'Colonial' to 551 cartons/A for IFAS 7264.
Nine other entries were not significantly different than IFAS 7264.

Average fruit weight ranged from 4.8 oz for 'Sunny' to 5.6 oz for 'Tango'. Seven
entries with average fruit weight of 5.2 oz or above were not significantly
different than 'Tango'.









Seasonal cull fruit production, as a percentage of total harvested fruit, ranged
from 20% for IFAS 7430 and IFAS 7249B to 45% for IFAS 7267.
First Harvest (November 4, 1991): Total marketable yield at the first harvest
ranged from 103 cartons/A for 'Colonial' to 710 cartons/A for IFAS 7430 (Table
3). Nine other entries, IFAS 7427, IFAS 72498, 'Heatwave', IFAS 7264, 'Merced',
IFAS 7267, 'Tango', NVH 4466 and IFAS 7375 were not significantly different than
IFAS 7430.

Extra-large fruit yield ranged from 71 cartons/A for 'Colonial' to 439 cartons/A
for IFAS 7430. Six other entries were not significantly different than IFAS 7430
in extra-large fruit yield. They were: 'Merced', IFAS 7264, IFAS 7427, 'Tango',
'Heatwave' and IFAS 7267.
Large fruit yield at the first harvest ranged from 26 cartons/A for 'Colonial'
to 207 cartons/A for IFAS 7249B. Eight other entries were similar to IFAS 7249B
in large fruit yield.

Average fruit weight at the first harvest ranged from 5.5 oz for IFAS 7375 to 7.1
oz for 'Colonial'. The proportion of fruit which were culls ranged from 18% for
IFAS 7430 to 52% for IFAS 7267. Fruit defects at the first harvest included open
blossom ends and radial cracking. Two breeding lines, IFAS 7430 and IFAS 72498,
produced less than 20% of total harvested fruit as culls.
Second Harvest (November 14, 1991): Total marketable yields ten days later
ranged from 168 cartons/A for 'Colonial' to 446 cartons/A for IFAS 7430 (Table
4). IFAS 7264, NVH 4466, 'Heatwave', 'Solar Set' and 'Merced' were not
significantly different than IFAS 7430 in yield. Extra-large fruit yield met or
exceeded 95 cartons/A for only three entries, IFAS 7264 (149 cartons/A), IFAS
7430 (130) and NVH 4466 (95). Large fruit yield was greater than 130 cartons/A
for IFAS 7430 (196 cartons/A), IFAS 7264 (149), NVH 4466 (140); 'Heatwave' (133)
and 'Solar Set' (132). Average fruit weight at the second harvest ranged from
4.7 oz for IFAS 7375 to 5.6 oz for 'Merced'. The proportion of harvested fruit
which were culled ranged from 21% to 49%. Defects included open blossom ends and
radial cracking.

Third Harvest (November 25, 1991): Marketable yields at the final harvest ranged
from 312 cartons/A for 'Colonial' to 663 cartons/A for IFAS 72498 (Table 5).
Only 'Colonial' and 'Tango' produced significantly less marketable yield than
IFAS 72498. While total marketable yields were greater a this time than the
previous harvests, the yields shifted to smaller sized fruit. Much of fruit were
sized as medium. Average fruit size dropped to less than 5 oz among all entries.
Cull fruit as a proportion of total harvested fruit ranged from 19% for IFAS
72498 to 35% for IFAS 7267. Defects included open blossom ends, radial cracks
and feeding injury from lepidopterous larvae.

Horticultural Evaluation: All observational entries were given ratings for
numerous horticultural characteristics by the senior author at the end of the
season when most fruit was ripe (Table 6). Ratings were from plots of 10 plants
and provide general indications of crop performance at a particular location and
time.

Summary: Promising breeding lines based on high yields of extra-large fruit at
the first pick include IFAS 7430, IFAS 7264 and NVH 4466. All of these are heat









tolerant lines. With the exception of 'Merced' and 'Tango', only heat tolerant
entries gave favorable yields this season.

The Gulf Coast Research and Education Center


The Gulf Coast Research and Education Center is
a unit of the Institute of Food and Agricultural Sci-
ences, University of Florida. The Research Center
originated in the fall of 1925 as the Tomato
Disease Laboratory with the primary objective of
developing control procedures for an epidemic out-
break of nailhead spot of tomato. Research was ex-
panded in subsequent years to include study of sev-
eral other tomato diseases.

In 1937, new research facilities were established
in the town of Manatee, and the Center scope was
enlarged to include horticultural, entomological, and
soil science studies of several vegetable crops. The
ornamental program was a natural addition to the
Center's responsibilities because of the emerging in-
dustry in the area in the early 1940's.

The Center's current location was established in
1965 where a comprehensive research and extension
program on vegetable crops and ornamental plants is
conducted. Three state extension specialists posi-
tions, 16 state research scientists, and two grant
supported scientists from various disciplines of
training participate in all phases of vegetable and
ornamental horticultural programs. This interdisci-
plinary team approach, combining several research
disciplines and a wide range of industry and faculty
contacts, often is more productive than could be ac-
complished with limited investments in independent
programs.


The Center's primary mission is to develop new
and expand existing knowledge and technology, and
to disseminate new scientific knowledge in Florida, so
that agriculture remains efficient and economically
sound.

The secondary mission of the Center is to assist
the Cooperative Extension Service, IFAS campus
departments, in which Center faculty hold appropri-
ate liaison appointments, and other research centers
in extension, educational training, and cooperative
research programs for the benefit of Florida's pro-
ducers, students, and citizens.

Program areas of emphasis include: (1) genetics,
breeding, and variety development and evaluation;
(2) biological, chemical, and mechanical pest manage-
ment in entomology, plant pathology, nematology,
bacteriology, virology, and weed science; (3) produc-
tion efficiency, culture, management, and counteract-
ing environmental stress; (4) water management and
natural resource protection; (5) post-harvest physiol-
ogy, harvesting, handling and food quality of horti-
cultural crops; (6) technical support and assistance to
the Florida Cooperative Extension Service; and (7)
advancement of fundamental knowledge of disciplines
represented by faculty and (8) directing graduate
student training and teaching special undergraduate
classes.
