TOMATO VARIETY TRIAL RESULTS FOR SPRING 1987

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


Ten commercial fresh market tomato cultivars or breeding lines and six advanced
IFAS breeding lines were evaluated in a replicated trial in the spring of 1987
at the Gulf Coast Research and Education Center in Bradenton, Fl.

In addition, ninety breeding lines and cultivars were evaluated subjectively
(no harvest) in single, unreplicated plots. These will be referred to as
observational entries.
MATERIALS AND METHODS

Bed Preparation: Raised beds of EauGallie fine sand were formed on February 6,
1987. The 30-inch wide beds were spaced on 4.5 ft centers with seepage
irrigation ditches spaced every 7 beds. Fertilizer incorporated 3-4 inches
into the full width of the bed included 80 lb KN03/1000 linear feet of bed
(LFB), 81 Ib high calcium lime/1000 LFB, and 75 lb superphosphate (0-20-0) with
minor elements (F503 80 lb/ton 0-20-0)/1000 LFB. Finally, 18-0-25-2 (N-P205-
K20-Mg0) at 148 lb/1000 LFB was distributed into 2 narrow bands in shallow
grooves on the bed surface 8 inches to each side of the bed center.
This fertilizer regime provided a 1:2 ratio of N:K20 with approximately 37 Ib N
per 1000 LFB. The beds were fumigated with methyl bromide:chloropicrin
(67%:33%) at 36 lb/1000 LFB and mulched with black polyethylene film.

Heavy rainfall on March 24 through March 31, an accumulation of 7.64 inches,
caused leaching of fertilizer which left inadequate amounts of major nutrients
to finish the crop. As an emergency measure, 18-0-25-2 was applied at the rate
of 8.1 lb N/1000 LFB (45 lb 18-0-25-2) on April 16 (east side of plant row) and
again at the same rate on May 7 (west side of plant row). Holes were punched
through the plastic into the bed shoulder between every other pair of plants
and the dry fertilizer was poured into the holes.

Transplant Production: All replicated entries (Table 1) and observational
entries were sown on January 5, 1987 into wooden flats containing Black BeautyR
(Mineral Aggregates, Inc.), an inert processed product of spent coal, and
lightly covered with coarse vermiculite. Seedlings were transferred 11 days
later into ToddR planter flats (Speedling, Inc., 1.5 x 1.5 x 2.5-inch cells,
model 150) containing vermiculite and Canadian peat (1:1, v:v) amended with
superphosphate, dolomite and micronutrients.

Center Director, respectively.










Crop Production: DevrinolR was applied 3 days and diazinon bait 2 days prior
to transplanting. Transplants were set in the field on February 19, 1987 28.5
inches apart in single rows in the center of each bed, and drenched with 20-20-
20 liquid fertilizer at 5 lb/100 gal water. Four replications of 10 plants per
entry were arranged in a randomized complete block design for the replicated
(harvested) trial, whereas single 10-plant plots were used for the
observational trial. Limited resetting was done on February 23 and 26. One
shielded spray of paraquat was applied to the row middles for weed control.

Integrated pest management was used for insect control throughout the season.
Leafminer and armyworm populations were the primary insect presence in the
spring. MonitorR, LannateR and DipelR were applied on an "as needed" basis
following label instructions.

A regular spray program utilizing maneb--ZnSO4 and chlorothalonil was followed
to prevent or control fungal diseases. Tribasic copper sulfate was added to
maneb-ZnS04 sprays later in the season to control bacterial spot.

The weather in the spring of 1987 was atypical in 2 respects. Temperatures
remained cool through the month of April and were about 50F below normal (Table
2). Also, in March rainfall was 8.16 inches above average. Most of the
excess, 7.64 inches, fell between March 24 and March 31.

Fruit of the replicated trial entries were harvested by hand at the mature
green stage (or beyond) on May 18, 28 and June 8, 1987. Tomatoes were graded
as cull or marketable in quality, and marketable fruit were sized by machine
as: 6x7 (medium), 6x6 (large) and 5x6 (extra large) according to commercial
standards (see Table 3, 4, or 6 for specifications). Both cull and marketable
fruit were counted and weighed.

Subjective ratings were given to all tomato entries in the replicated and
observational trials at the end of the season when red ripe fruit were on the
vine. Since replicated entries were harvested, additional unharvested plots of
replicated entries were planted specifically for late season appraisal.
Ratings ranged from 1 to 5 in various categories defining plant features, fruit
quality and horticultural characteristics. The ratings and the explanation of
the rating scales are contained in the footnotes of Table 8.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Seasonal. Total marketable yields for the season ranged from 195.3 to 318.3
cartons/1000 LFB (Table 3). This range was lower than it has been at this
location in 3 previous spring seasons (1984, 1985, 1986), but higher than or
equivalent to the spring seasons of 1982 and 1983 (1-5). Reduction in
marketable yields was attributed to the decreased fruit quality, primarily
because of blossom-end roughness, at the first harvest. This was a direct
result of the rain accompanied by heavy winds at the end of March. Also the
exclusion of fruit in the 7x7 size category (less than 2 8/32 inches)
influenced yields as compared to previous years.

Highest total marketable yields were produced by IFAS 7182 (318.3 cartons/1000
LFB), 'All Star' (312.0), 'Sunny' (300.3), IFAS 7181 (292.8) and 'Pacific'
(284.5). However, greatest extra large fruit yields for the season came from
'Pacific', IFAS 7178, IFAS 7196, 'All Star', 'Sunny' and IFAS 7168. Average











fruit weight was greatest for IFAS 7178 (6.0 oz), but this breeding line was
the lowest in yield. Cull production was greatest for IFAS 7196, 'Duke' and
'Freedom', all near 40%. Plant stands were good, no entry was below 90%.

First Harvest (May 18, 1987): Earliness, as judged by total maketable yields
obtained at the first harvest, were similar for seven entries (Table 4): XPH
5031, 'Horizon', 'Freedom', 'Duke', 'Pacific', IFAS 7182 and 'FTE 12', all with
greater than 80 cartons/1000 LFB. Total marketable yields ranged from 27.7 to
101.5 cartons/1000 LFB for IFAS 7195 and XPH 5031, respectively. When
earliness was considered for each entry as a percentage of marketable fruit
harvested at each date (Table 5), 'Freedom' was the earliest with 41% of its
fruit harvested on the first pick. Later varieties were 'All Star', 'Floratom
II', IFAS 7195 and 'Piedmont' with less than 20% fruit yield at the first
harvest.

Greatest extra large fruit yields were produced by 'Duke' (46.0 cartons/1000
LFB), IFAS 7178 (41.9), 'Freedom' (37.1), 'Pacific' (36.9), XPH 5031 (36.8),
IFAS 7196 (33.2), IFAS 7168 (32.1) and 'Horizon' (31.5). Average fruit size
was not significantly different among 15 of the 16 entries. IFAS 7178 stood
alone as exceptionally large fruited with an average weight of 6.9 oz. Cull
production was greatest for IFAS 7196 (44.2%) and 'Freedom' (36.9%) at the
first pick.

Second Harvest (May 28, 1987): At the second harvest there were few
significant differences among the entries. Eleven of the 16 entries were
similar in total marketable yield (Table 6). Total yields ranged from 75.6 to
143.8 cartons/1000 LFB (IFAS 7195 and 'All Star', respectively). Greatest
extra large fruit yield was produced by 'All Star' (51.1 carton/1000 LFB),
'Sunny' (49.9), IFAS 7196 (49.3), IFAS 7178 (48.5), 'Pacific' (47.8), IFAS 7168
(43.7), 'Floratom II' (40.7), IFAS 7181 (33.4) and 'Duke' (32.6), none of which
were significantly different from each other. Average fruit size ranged from
4.9 oz. (IFAS 7182, XPH 5031 and 'Horizon') to 6.0 oz. (IFAS 7178). Cull
production ranged from 19.4% for IFAS 7182 to 43.3% for IFAS 7196.

Third Harvest (June 8, 1987): Yields were less for the third harvest (Table 7)
than the second with only slight differences in best producing entries. Nine
entries were not significantly different with respect to greatest total yields.
They were: 'All Star', IFAS 7182, IFAS 7181, IFAS 7195, 'Piedmont', 'Floratom
II', 'Sunny', 'FTE 12', and 'Pacific'. Ten entries were similar in extra large
and large fruit yields. Cull production rose for the third harvest with 10
entries producing greater than 30% culls. There were no differences among the
entries in average fruit weight which ranged from 4.7 to 5.3 oz.

Subjective Evaluations: All of the replicated entries and observational
entries were given ratings for horticultural characteristics at the end of the
season. These ratings are from plots of 10 plants each. They are intended
only to provide general indications of the crop at a given location and time.
Be advised to compare these comments with results from other areas or seasons.
