Section E North Half Land 8 (D. G. A. Kelbert)
SOUTHERN TOMATO EXCHANGE PROGRAM
S. T. E. P. REPLICATED TRIAL
Purpose: To compare the breeding lines with the commercial varieties for
quality, yield, and fruit size, as well as other horticultural
characters. These studies afford an opportunity to collect data
on potential new varieties before their actual release.
PLanttangdata:
Same as for Gulf Coast Station trials.
Planting consists of four commercial varieties: Rutgers, Homestead 24
and two new introductions, Marion and Manapal, and six advanced
breeding lines, sources of which are indicated on following va-
riety list.

TOMATO VARIETY TRIALS
Purpose:
Evaluation of Gulf Coast Station advanced breeding lines which are con-
sidered potential new varieties, compared with Manalucie, Indian River,
Homestead 24, and two new varieties, Manapal (STEP 314) and Marion
(STEP 281), Evaluations are made on the basis of quality, yield, size
of fruits, earliness and other horticultural characters.
Planting Data:
Seed were sown in flats on December 21. Seedlings were transplanted to
other flats January 9 and plants were set in the field February 15. Land
was treated in the row with V.P.M. and 4-8-8 fertilizer at 300 lbs./A.
was applied in the bed when made up. Total fertilizer 3000 lbs./A.
4-8-8 50 Ibs./A. Nitrate of Soda Potash. Row spacing is 54 inches,
plant spacing 16 inches. Plants all pruned to two stems; Homestead 24
has had a minimum of pruning. All pruning was discontinued when plants
were half grown.

TOMATO VARIETY TRIALS
DETERMINATE TYPE VARIETIES AND BREEDING LINES
Purpose: To study the feasibility of growing determinate type varieties to
reduce cost of production by eliminating pruning and the need for
staking; to increase yield through increased plant population per
acre; and by diminishing plant damage by pickers. To take advan-
tage of concentrated maturity, eliminating the need for prolonged
harvesting season.
Yield records on some of these new stocks have shown yields exceed-
ing 10 pounds of marketable fruit per plant.
The breeding lines are compared to the established variety Homestead

Field 17 (C, M. Geraldson)
N SOURCE AND MINOR ELEMENTS
Purpose: To study the effect of five inorganic nitrogen sources in combination
with and without boron on yields and quality of tomatoes, sweet corn,
pole beans, squash and cucumbers.
History Crop Variety Planted
Tomatoes Manalucie 12/15 8(f,2/15)
Sweet corn Golden Security 2/23
Squash Yellow Crookneck 2/23
Pole beans Florida 204 2/23
Cucumbers Ashley 2/23
Fertilizer: Triple Super 250#/A. before planting.
250#/A. 10-0-14 weekly (total to date 2500#/A.)
Boron (Sprayed 1#/100 gal. Solubor every 7 to 10 days)
Treatments:
Sodium nitrate + potassium sulfate
16 no boron spray
17 + boron
Ammonium nitrate + potassium sulfate
26 no boron spray
27 + boron
Ammonium sulfate + potassium sulfate
36 no boron spray
37 + boron
Calcium nitrate + potassium sulfate
46 no born spray
47 + boron
Calcium nitrate + potassium nitrate
57 no boron spray
57 + boron
Results: When the initial soil pH was 6.0 or higher, best yields and quality
of such crops as pole beans cucumbers were associated with the am-
monium nitrate and ammonium sulfate fertilized plots compared to
those receiving sodium nitrate. When calcium nitrate or calcium
plus potassium nitrate were used as source materials, yields and
quality were sometimes equivalent to those plots producing the best
and at other times were rated as inferior to the ammonium nitrate
or ammonium sulfate fertilized plots, but generally superior to
the sodium nitrate plots. When the initial soil pH was 5.0 or lower
poorer yields and quality of tomatoes were associated with the all-
ammonium nitrogen source.

POLE BEAN BREEDING LINES (Coop. with Drs. A. P. Lorz and R. A. Conover)
Purpose: To develop improved varieties for Florida, with resistances to diseases
in combination with desirable horticultural character.
Notes on this crop: Seed planted March 3. Since they were 5" tall, the plants
have been beaten repeatedly by winds, and it does not appear possible
to judge them accurately for vine type or potential yield.
L #1 has seven new F2 populations in which we are looking for various combina-
tions of horticultural characters plus resistances to rust and three
virus diseases, First eases of YBM found 4/23.
L #2 has an assortment of stringless stocks, including the standard Blue Lake
lines, Fla. 204 and its near relatives, and several selections only
in the F3 now.
L #3 was intended as a yield trial of 12 large-podded stocks, six of which had
been selected by Dr. Conover from the Florigreen x McCaslan family in
Dade County. The two recently rated most promising by Dr. Conover are
items E and F. There is little prospect that this wind-damaged crop
can give reliable yield-data.

TOMATO BREEDING LINES
Purpose: To develop improved varieties for Florida, with resistance to as
many diseases as possible in combination with horticultural char-
acters desired by the growers and superior quality required by the
consumers.
Notes on this crop: Seed planted in raised beds December 29 January 5, the
transplanting to the field done February 21. Fungicides maneb, zineb,
and copper were rotated on the crop for the first six weeks. Since
April 4 there has been no fungicide used.
Items of Possible Interest:
Land 4 Determinate stocks STEP 386, STEP 387, STEP 388, and STEP 389
and their near relatives. These were selected for concentra-
ted fruit-setting during a 3-year period in which fruit-set-
ting by Homestead and many of our determinates was very poor
in this area.
Land 7 New F2 populations with plants showing high potential yield.
Stocks 447 CAStW, 557 CAStW, and 123 CAStW have some plants
of determinate habit,
Land 9 (1) STEP 390, currently the most promising fixed line with
resistance to tobacco mosaic.
(2) Manapal, Marion, and a large-fruited family (450) from
their mating,
Land 10 Plants in the F3 showing attractive size, smoothness, quality,
and no. of fruits.

TOMATO BREEDING LINES (Cont.)
This is an assortment of lines inoculated with tobacco-mosaic virus. The
four rows in Land 7 with nmnnrous white tags represent a yield
trial, set-up as another efi rt to determine whether an F1 might
be useful, under conditions of intensive culture, as a temporary
defense against losses due to TMV. Compare these stocks:
B = STEP 390, a fixed line with quality, size and smoothness of
fruits.
G 407 CAStMW in Fl, which shows earliness and yielding potential.
