TOMATO VARIETY TRIAL RESULTS FOR SPRING 1986

T. K. Howe, J. W. Scott, and W. E. Waters1


Several commercial fresh market tomato cultivars and advanced IFAS
breeding lines were evaluated in a replicated trial in the spring of
1986 at the Gulf Coast Research and Education Center at Bradenton, FL.
Twelve of the seventeen entries in this trial were also included in
variety trials at four other IFAS agricultural research centers in
Immokalee, Homestead, Quincy and Fort Pierce. The twelve entries
included IFAS breeding lines 7131, 7175, 7177, 7178, 7181, 7182, 7183,
and commercial cultivars 'All Star', 'Horizon', 'Duke', 'FTE 12', and
'Sunny'. A separate statewide report will be published by the tomato
trials working group. This report details results from the replicated
trial at Bradenton only.

A selection of seventy commercial and home garden tomato breeding lines
and cultivars were evaluated subjectively in single, unreplicated
plots. These will be referred to as observational entries.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Approximately 3 years prior to bed preparation for this trial, the
field was broadcast with 1200 Ib/A of superphosphate (0-20-0 containing
80 Ib/ton F503 oxide micronutrients) and 2 ton/A of dolomite. Raised
beds of EauGallie fine sand were formed February 3, 1986. The 30-inch
wide, 9-inch high beds were spaced on 4.5 ft centers with irrigation
ditches spaced between every 7 beds. Fertilizer incorporated 3-4
inches into the full width of the bed included 18-0-25-2 (N-P205-K20-
fig0) at 3.4 lb/100 linear feet of bed (LFB), superphosphate plus F503
at 4.2 lb/100 LBF, and high calcium (97% CaC03) lime at 8.1 lb/100LFB.
Finally, 18-0-25-2 at 17.5 lb/100 LFB was distributed in 2 narrow bands
in shallow grooves on the bed surface 9 inches to each side of the bed
center. The beds were fumigated with methyl bromide:chloropicrin
(66%:33%) at 3.6 lb/100 LBF and mulched with black polyethylene.
Diazinon (R) bait was broadcast for the control of mole crickets.

All replicated entries (Table 1) and observational entries were sown on
January 8, 1986 into wooden flats containing SAF-T-BLAST(R) (Hineral

(Vegetable Breeding), and Center Director, respectively.








Aggregates, Inc.), an inert procd 'i product of spent coal and lightly
covered with. coarse vermiculite.' seedlings were transferred 8 days
later into TODD(R).pTanter flats (Speedling Inc., 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 x 2 1/2
in., model 150) containing vermiculite and Canadian peat (1:1, v:v)
amended with superphosphate, dolomite and micronutrients. Transplants
were set in the field on February 20, 1986, 28.5 inches apart in single
rows in the center of each bed and staked. Four replicates of 10
plants per entry were arranged in a randomized complete block design in
`'the replicated trial, whereas single 10 plant plots were used in the
observational trial. Limited resetting was done twice on February 24
and March 3, 1986. Devrinol(R) was applied to the row middles the week
of February 24 and paraquat was applied as a shielded spray to the row
middles the week of March 10 for weed control.

Integrated pest management was used for insect population control
throughout the season. Monitor was applied four times, Lannate three
times and Ambush twice. Monitor and Ambush were used to control
serpentine leafminers while Lannate was used on thrips. All pesticides
were applied at labeled rates.

A regular spray program was followed for prevention of fungal diseases.
It was a very dry season (Table 2 weather, information) and disease
pressure was light. Maneb and mancozeb compounds were used on a weekly
basis.

The weather during the spring season was fairly typical (Table 2).
However, record minimum daily temperatures were approached on March 22-
24 (45, 38, 380F, respectively). This followed five days with maximum
daily temperatures in the 80's. The low temperature reached on March 23
was accompanied by strong winds which caused chilling injury to the
foliage exposed to prevailing winds. No evidence of injury was visible
2 days later and it was reasoned to be only temporary dessication.
There was less than the average toqal rainfall, in the months of April
and Iay. Total rainfall in March was above average but was greatly
influenced by a 2.10 in. accumulation on March 16. Basically the
spring of 1986 was a dry productionseason.

Fruit of the replicated entries were harvested by hand at the mature-
green stage (or beyond) on Ilay 19 and 28, and June 9, 1986. Tomatoes
were graded as cull or marketable in quality, and marketable fruit were
sized by machine as: 7 x 7 (small), 6 x 7 (medium), 6 x 6 (large) and 5
x 6 (extra large)'according to commercial standards. Both culls and
marketable fruit"were counted and weighed. The average fruit weight,
the percentage of culls, the percentage of large plus extra large fruit
(6 x 6 plus 5 x 6), and the percentage of extra large fruit alone (5 x
6 only) were calculated in addition to yield for each harvest and for
the entire season.

Subjective ratings were given to the tomato entries in both the,
replicated and observational trials on June 5 and 6, 1986. Ratings
ranged from 1 to 5 in numerous categories defining plant features,
fruit quality, and horticultural characteristics.








RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Seasonal:

Cumulative yields for spring 1986 are in Table 3. Yields ranged from
269.7 to 419.5 cartons per 1000 linear bed feet (LBF). Highest
marketable yields were produced by eight of the seventeen entries:
IFAS 7183 (419.5 cartons/1000 LBF), IFAS 7181 (410.0), 'Freedom'
(397.2), 'Horizon' (393.8), IFAS 7177 (388.1), IFAS 7131 (387.8), IFAS
7182 (364.2), and 'FTE 12' (360.9), none of which was significantly
different from the other. The best extra large fruit yield (5 x 6) was
produced by 'Freedom' (154.8 cartons/1000 LBF), IFAS 7178 (151,9), IFAS...-,
7183 (134.1) and IFAS 7181 (118.3). When extra large fruit (5 x 6) and
large fruit (6 x 6) were combined, the highest yields were produced by
to IFAS 7183 (301.4 cartons/1000 LBF), 'Freedom' (295.0), IFAS 7181
(268.6) and 'Horizon' (254.3).

The highest proportion of large and extra large fruit combined (85.7%)
or extra large fruit only (55.6%) was produced by IFAS 7178. Greatest
average fruit size (6.0 oz) was also produced by IFAS 7178. Cull fruit
as a proportion of all fruit picked ranged from 16.5 to 30.1%, for IFAS
7178 and 'Hybrid 26', respectively. Seven entries (IFAS 7178,
'Piedmont', IFAS 7182, 'Summit', IFAS 7177, IFAS 7181 and IFAS 7183)
produced less than 20% culls.

First Harvest (May 19, 1986):

Earliness, as judged by the marketable yield at the first harvest,
ranged from 57.4 cartons/1000 LBF for 'Liberty' to 185.1 cartons/1000
LBF for 'Freedom',(Table 4). 'Freedom' was similar only to 'Horizon'
in total marketable yield, but the cultivar stood alone as the entry
with the greatest 5 x 6 yield and 5 x 6 ,plus 6 x 6 yield (87.7
ctns/1000 LBF and 151.6 ctns/1000 LBF, respectively). However, the 5 x
6i yield for 'Freedom' represented only 48.2% of the total marketable
yield and the 5 x 6 plus 6' x 6 ,yield represented 82.6%. The best
proportion of large and extra large fruit came from IFAS 7178.

Average fruit size ranged from 4.7 to 6.5 oz for 'Liberty' and IFAS
7178, respectively. IFAS 7178 was not significantly different than
'Horizon' (6.0 oz) or 'Piedmont' (5.9 oz) with respect to average fruit
size..r, Cull production was under 20% of total harvested fruit for 3
Sdtries,, 'Summit' (16.4%), IFAS.7178 (16.7%) and 'Piedmont' (17.3%).
,'''The .:first harvest was timed to be indicative of earliness among
entries. Earliest varieties were 'Freedom', 'Horizon' and 'Hybrid 26',
all of which produced greater than 30% of their respective total yields
at the initial harvest (Table 5). The vast majority of the entries
produced between 20 and 30% of the total yield at the first harvest.
The latest varieties were IFAS 7182, 'All Star'!, 'Piedmont' and IFAS
7183 which produced more than 45% of their total yields at the third
harvest on June 9.








Second Harvest (May 28, 1986):


Yields at the second harvest were generally higher than the first
harvest due to the fact that the initial harvest was timed for earlier
maturing varieties. The range of marketable fruit yield ran from 85.8
ctns/1000 LBF for 'Summit' to 162.3 ctns/1000 LBF for IFAS 7177 (Table
6). IFAS 7177 was not significantly different than 13 other entries.
Extra large fruit yield (5 x 6) ranged from 15.5 to 55.2 ctns/1000 LBF
for IFAS 7182 and IFAS 7178, respectively. IFAS 7178 was similar in 5
x 6 yield to nine other entries. When 5 x 6 and 6 x 6 sizes were
combined for yield, only 2 entries are significantly smaller than the
greatest yield of 107.1 ctns/1000 LBF.

The greatest proportion of 5 x 6 and 5 x 6 plus 6 x 6 fruit was
produced by IFAS 7178, 56.6% and 89.6%, respectively. IFAS 7178 also
one of two entries with fewest cull fruit, only IFAS 7177 was similar
in cull fruit production. Greatest average fruit size was obtained
again from IFAS 7178 (6.0oz).

Third Harvest (June 9, 1986):

Marketable yield at the third pick ranged' from 92.4 ('Freedom') to
192.9 (IFAS 7183) ctns/1000 LBF. Seven other entries (IFAS 7182, 'All
Star', IFAS 7177, IFAS 7181, 'Sunny', 'Piedmont', and 'FTE 12') were
similar to IFAS 7183 with respect to greatest yield. Greatest 5 x 6
yield was 52.3 ctns/1000 LBF and was similar for seven entries, IFAS
7183, IFAS 7182, 'All Star', IFAS 7177, IFAS 7181, 'Sunny', and
'Piedmont'. The greatest proportion of extra-large fruit was still
produced by IFAS 7178 with 47.3% of its total yield attributed to the 5
x 6 size. When 5 x 6 and 6 x 6 sizes were combined, 74.8% of the total
yield was accounted for from IFAS 7178.

Less than 20% cull production came from IFAS 7182, IFAS 7177, IFAS
7181, 'Sunny' and 'Piedmont'. The greatest proportion of cull fruit
were produced by 'Hybrid 26' (33.4%), 'Duke' (30.9%), 'Freedom' (27.5%)
and 'Liberty' (26.2%). Average fruit size at the final harvest ranged
from 4.0 oz ('Liberty') to 5.6 oz. (IFAS 7178). Again, IFAS 7178
produced the largest fruit of any entry.

Subjective Evaluations:

All seventeen replicated (harvested) trial entries and sixty-eight
observational (not harvested) trial entries were given ratings for
horticultural characteristics at the end of the season, June 5 and 6,
1906. The ratings and the explanation of the rating scales used are
presented in Tables 8 and 9. These ratings were made for individual
plots of 8 to 10 plants each. They are intended only to provide
general perceptions of the crop at a given location. Be advised to
compare these comments with results from other areas.
