TOMATO VARIETY TRIAL RESULTS FOR SPRING 1993

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

The value of fresh market tomatoes in Florida for 1991-92 was $728.4 million (1).
Production of 81.4 million 25-pound cartons came from 51,300 acres. Tomatoes had
the greatest crop value, accounting for 42% of Florida's vegetable shipping point
value. The Palmetto-Ruskin area (west-central Florida) accounted for 28% of the
state's total fresh market tomato production in 1991-92 (1).
A tomato variety trial was conducted in the spring of 1993 at the GCREC in west-
central Florida to evaluate fresh market tomato varieties and breeding lines.
Twenty entries were evaluated in a replicated yield trial and an additional 76
entries were evaluated visually in observational plots.

Materials & Methods
Bed Preparation:. The 33-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-P205-KO0-MgO) at 1742 lb/A (A 8712 linear ft of bed) distributed in 2 narrow
bands in shallow grooves on the bed surface 10 inches to either side of bed
center. In addition, a banded false bed application was made of superphosphate
(0-20-0 with 80 lbs per ton minor elements as F503) at 436 lb/A. This fertilizer
regime provided a 1:2 ratio of N:K20 with approximately 260 lb N/A and 523 lb
K 0/A. Beds were fumigated with methyl bromide:chloropicrin (67:33) at 189
Ib/mulched A (mulched acre = 23,522 sq ft) and covered with black polyethylene.
Transplant Production: Seeds were sown on 7 January into wooden flats containing
an inert processed product of spent coal and lightly covered with coarse
vermiculite. Seedlings were transferred 15 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 dolomite superphosphate, and hydrated lime (11.3, 5.6 and 2.8 lb/cu
yd, respectively). Plants were conditioned before transplanting by limiting
water and nutrients in the final phase of production.

Crop Production: Transplants were set in the field on 22 February spaced 24
inches apart in single rows down the center of each bed. Transplants were
immediately drenched with water. Four replications of 10 plants per entry were

arranged in a randomized complete block design in the replicated trial and single
10-plant plots were used in the observational trial. Plants were staked and tied
without pruning.

Storm conditions including very strong wind (gusts up to 70 mph), chilling
temperatures and rain on 12-14 March caused extensive damage to the plants.
Approximately 50% of the leaf area was destroyed at a time just preceding the
first tie when plants were starting to flower. Plant regrowth was very good and
plants were generally of normal size by harvest. Losses of first hand fruit were
impossible to assess.

Plots were scouted for pests throughout the season. Sweetpotato whitefly,
thrips, lepidoterous larvae and serpentine leafminer were the primary insects
found. Bacillus thuringiensis, permethrin, esfenvalerate, insecticidal soap,
avermectin, endosulfan, methomyl, methamidophos and fenpropathrin were used
according to label instructions to manage insect pest populations during the
season.

A spray program using mancozeb, tribasic copper and chlorothalonil was followed
for bacterial spot and speck, early and late blight and other fungal diseases.
Bacterial speck was prevalent only in the first part of the season. With the
onset of drier and warmer weather, this disease ceased to be a problem.

Fruit of the replicated entries were harvested at the mature-green stage or
beyond on 27 May, 7-8 June and 14 June. Tomatoes were graded as cull or
marketable by U.S. standards for grades (3) and marketable fruits were sized by
machine as undersize, medium, large or extra-large (see footnotes Tables 2-4 for
specifications). Both cull and sized fruits were counted and weighed.
Subjective ratings for various categories defining plant and fruit
characteristics were given to the observational entries at the end of the season
when red ripe fruit were present on the vine.

Results & Discussion
Weather information for the season compared to the 39-year averages (2) is in
Table 1. Maximum daily temperatures, on average, were one to two degrees below
normal as compared to the 39-year averages. Minimum daily temperatures were two
to three degrees lower than normal in April and equivalent to 39-year averages
during March and May. However, as already mentioned, a severe storm in March had
a profound effect on the plants. Rainfall was below average during March and
May, but above average during April.

Seasonal: Total marketable yield after three harvests ranged from 1800 25 lb-
cartons/A for HMX 2822 to 2628 cartons/A for IFAS 7375 (Table 2). All entries
except 'Olympic' and HMX 2822 were not significantly different from IFAS 7375.
Yield of extra-large fruit ranged from 766 cartons/A for 'Monte Verde' to 2067
cartons/A for 'Passion'. Only 'Tango' at 1775 cartons/A was statistically
similar to 'Passion' in extra-large fruit yield for the season. Average
individual fruit weight ranged from 5.0 oz for 'Monte Verde' to 7.2 oz for HMX
2822. 'Olympic' (6.8 oz), 'Passion' (6.8 oz), 'Merced' (6.7 oz), FMX 171 (6.7
oz), 'Mountain Spring' (6.5 oz), XPH 10005 (6.5 oz) and 'Tango' (6.5 oz) were not
significantly different than HMX 2822 in average seasonal fruit weight. Cull
fruit accounted for 23-40% of total harvest with six entries with less than 30%
culled fruit. They were: 'Mountain Fresh', 'Monte Verde', IFAS 7430, FMX 171,
'Passion' and 'Mountain Spring'.









First Harvest (27 May): Total marketable yield for the first harvest ranged from
147 cartons/A for 'Sunny' to 796 cartons/A for 'Passion' (Table 3). Only
'Merced' at 655 cartons/A was not significantly different than 'Passion' in total
marketable yield at first pick. 'Passion' had the greatest marketable yield of
extra-large fruit with 702 cartons/A. Extra-large fruit yield for all other
entries ranged from 110 to 546 cartons/A. Average individual fruit weight ranged
from 6.1 oz for 'Sunny' to 8.2 oz for HMX 2822.

While HMX 2822 exceeded 8 oz average fruit weight, eight other entries, which
were equal to or exceeded 7.5 oz, were not significantly different than HMX 2822.
Cull fruit accounted for 24-54% of the total fruit harvested at the first pick.
The defects of cull fruit were predominately rough fruit shape, zippering, rough
blossom ends and radial cracking in that order.

Second and Third Harvests Combined (7-8 June and 14 June): The total marketable
yield for the balance of the season ranged from 1294 cartons/A for HMX 2822 to
2276 cartons/A for IFAS 7249B (Table 4). Only 'Olympic', 'Merced', XPH 10005 and
HMX 2822 were significantly lower in yield than IFAS 7249B. Extra-large fruit
yield ranged from 570 cartons/A for 'Bonita' to 1365 cartons/A for 'Passion'.
Best extra-large fruit yields did not parallel total marketable fruit yields.
Those entries lowest in total marketable yields had very good extra-large fruit
yields, while six entries with high total marketable yields had significantly
lower extra-large fruit yields than 'Passion'. Average individual fruit weight
ranged from 4.9 oz for 'Monte Verde' to 6.9 oz for HMX 2822. Ten entries were
similar to 'Monte Verde' in average fruit weight over the last two harvests.
Cull fruit accounted for between 26 and 38% of the total harvest averaged over
the second and third picks.

Horticultural Evaluation: All observational entries were given ratings for
numerous horticultural characteristics at the end of the season when most fruit
were red ripe (Table 5). Ratings provide general indications of crop performance
at a particular location and time. It was observed that many of the IFAS hybrids
with bacterial spot resistance also were resistant to bacterial speck. Many of
these hybrids were also earlier than most items in either the replicated or
observational trials by as much as seven to ten days.

Summary
Exceptional overall seasonal yields of extra-large fruit came from 'Passion' and
'Tango'. Best early extra-large fruit yield came from 'Passion'. High mid and
late season extra-large fruit yield was similar for 13 of the 20 entries.

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.
