TOMATO VARIETY TRIAL RESULTS FOR SPRING 1989

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


Eighteen fresh market tomato cultivars or breeding lines were evaluated in
a replicated, harvested trial in the fall of 1988 at the Gulf Coast
Research and Education Center in Bradenton, FL. In addition, fifty-one
breeding lines and cultivars were evaluated qualitatively (no harvest) in
observational plots.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Bed Preparation: Raised beds of EauGallie fine sand were formed on
February 7, 1989. 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-P205-K20-Mg0) at 240 lb/1000 linear feet of bed
(LFB) distributed into 2 narrow bands in shallow grooves on the bed
surface 10 inches to each side of the bed center and a full bed-width,
incorporated application of superphosphate (0-20-0 with 80 Ibs per ton
minor elements as F503) at 75 lb/1000 LFB. This fertilizer regime
provided a 1:2 ratio of N:K20 with approximately 36 lb N per 1000 LFB.
Beds were fumigated with methyl bromide:chloropicrin (67%:33%) at 36
lb/1000 LFB and mulched with white polyethylene film. One acre was
equivalent to 8712 LFB.

Transplant Production: Seed were sown on January 4, 1989 into wooden
flats containing an inert processed product of spent coal, and lightly
covered with coarse vermiculite. Seedlings were transferred 13 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
micronutrients.

Crop Production: Transplants were set in the field February 27, 1989,
spaced 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 harvested trial, and single 10-plant plots were used
for the observational trial. Paraquat was applied to row middles for weed

control. Plants were later staked and tied without pruning. Weather
information for the season which was compared to 33-yr averages is
presented in Table 1.

Plots were scouted for insect control throughout the season. Leafminer,
sweet potato whitefly, armyworm and mites were the primary insects found.
Methomyl, permethrin, oxamyl, endosulfan, avermectin, dicofol,
esfenvalerate and Bacillus thuringiensis were applied on an "as needed"
basis following label instructions.

A regular spray program utilizing mancozeb and chlorothalonil was followed
to control fungal diseases. Tribasic copper sulfate was added to mancozeb
sprays to control bacterial spot when necessary.

Fruit of the replicated trial entries (Table 2) were harvested at the
mature-green stage (or beyond) on May 22, June 1 and June 7, 1989.
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 Tables 3-6 for
specifications). Both cull and marketable fruit were counted and weighed.

Subjective ratings by the senior author 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 (Table 5). Since replicated entries were
harvested, additional non-harvested plots of replicated entries were
planted specifically for late season appraisal. Ratings were given in
various categories defining plant features, fruit quality and
horticultural characteristics.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Seasonal. Total marketable yields for the season ranged from 314.4
cartons/1000 linear feet of bed (LFB) for 'HMX 6596' to 397.2 cartons/1000
LFB for 'FTE 24' (Table 3). Only 'Bingo', 'Whirlaway', 'Olympic' and 'HMX
6596' were significantly lower in yield than 'FTE 24'. This yield range
is comparable to the 1985 and 1986 spring variety trials at this location
(4-5), and greater than for 1982-1984 and 1987-1988 (1-3, 6-7).

Yield of extra large fruit for the season ranged from 126.8 cartons/1000
LFB for 'Whirlaway' to 244.4 cartons/1000 LFB for 'Bingo'. Six other
entries were not significantly different than 'Bingo' in extra large fruit
yield: 'PSR 9586', 'NVH 4459', 'Pacific', 'Solar Set', 'Olympic' and
'Duke'. Average fruit weight was greatest for 'Bingo' (7.3 oz) which was
similar to only 'Olympic' (6.8 oz). Cull production ranged from 17.3% for
'IFAS 7209' to 28.5% for 'Duke'. Eleven entries had greater than 19% cull
production.

First Harvest (May 22, 1989): Earliness, as judged by total marketable
yields obtained at the first harvest, were similar for ten entries (Table
4): 'Duke' (212.4 cartons/1000 LFB), 'Bingo' (202.2), 'Regency (192.9),
'NVH 4459' (183.6), 'Pacific' (181.8), 'FTE 24' (174.5), 'Solar Set'
(172.7), 'Bonita' (163.4), 'IFAS 7209' (163.3) and 'Shamrock 600' (150.7).
Total marketable early yields ranged from 102.2 cartons/1000 LFB to 212.4
cartons/1000 LFB. When earliness was considered for each entry as a









percentage of seasonal marketable yield harvested on May 22, 'Duke' and
'Bingo' had more than 60% of their respective yields harvested at the
first pick. 'Summer Flavor 6000', 'Centenario', 'HMX 6596', 'Sunny' and
'Sunre 984' produced less than 40% of their total yield at the first
harvest.

Extra large fruit yield ranged from 55.4 cartons/1000 LFB for 'Centenario'
to 177.0 cartons/1000 LFB for 'Bingo'. Only 'Duke' and 'NVH 4459' were
similar to 'Bingo' in extra large fruit yield at initial harvest. Average
fruit weight was greatest for 'Bingo' (8.2 oz) which was similar to 'PSR
9586' (7.8 oz) and 'Olympic' (7.6 oz). Plant stands were only
significantly lower than 100% for 'Olympic' (87.5%), 'Bingo' (82.5%) and
'Summer Flavor 6000' (80.0%). Cull production ranged from 11.9% for
'Sunre 984' to 23.6% for 'Duke'.

Second Harvest (June 1, 1989): At the second harvest twelve entries were
similar with respect to highest marketable yield for all fruit sizes
(Table 5). Total yield ranged from 97.5 to 198.8 cartons/1000 LFB. There
were no differences among any of the entries with respect to extra large
fruit yield. Average fruit weight was greatest for 'PSR 9586' (6.9 oz)
and 'Olympic' (6.9 oz) with 'Bingo' (6.4 oz), 'HMX 6596' (6.3 oz) and 'NVH
4459' (6.2 oz) not significantly different. With a few more plants lost
between harvests, only 'Bingo' (82.5%) and 'Summer Flavor 6000' (80%) had
significantly less than 100% plant stand.

Third Harvest (June 2, 1989): No entry produced more than 26.8% of its
yield at the third harvest (Table 6). Total yield ranged from 27.6 to
99.8 cartons/1000 LFB for 'Bingo' and 'Sunre 984', respectively. Three
entries were not significantly different in greatest total yields: 'Sunre
984', 'HMX 6596' and 'PSR 9586'. 'HMX 6596' and 'Sunre 984'- were
indicated as late cultivars at the first harvest (Table 4). Greatest
extra large fruit yield was produced by 'PSR 9586', which was not
significantly different from 'Sunre 984' or 'Sunny'. Average fruit size
ranged from 4.5 oz for 'Centenario' to 5.5 oz for 'Sunny'. Only
'Centenario' was significantly smaller than 'Sunny' or 'PSR 9586'. By the
last harvest only the 80% plant stand of 'Summer Flavor 6000' was
significantly less than 100%.

Horticultural Evaluations: All of the replicated and observational
entries were given ratings for several horticultural characteristics
(Table 7). These ratings were from plots of 10 plants each. They are
intended only to provide general indications of the crop at a given
location and time.
