9LS -^ AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH & EDUCATION CEN RiUME LIBRARY IFAS, University of Florida Immokalee, Florida FEB G 1986 STAKED TOMATO VARIETY TRIAL RESULTS SPRI 1 Univ. of Florida Paul H. Everett and Karen A. Armbrester Immokalee AREC Research Report IMM84-5 August, 1984 A replicated trial was conducted at the Agricultural Research and Education Center, Immokalee, Florida, during the spring season (Jan. May) of 1984 to evaluate the performance of twenty tomato cultivars and/or breeding lines. Table 1 is a list of entries and seed sources used in this trial. Hereafter, breeding lines from Bradenton-GCREC will be identified by the first numerical sequence only. EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE All entries were seeded in ToddR planter trays #150 (1.5 inch cell size) on December 23, 1983, and were transplanted to field plots on January 25, 1984. Field plots were arranged in randomized complete blocks with four replications of each entry. Each plot consisted of 10 plants spaced 15 inches apart in the row on raised plant beds spaced 6 feet on centers. Plant beds were irrigated with an open ditch seep system with lateral ditches spaced 41.5 feet apart. There were 5 plant beds between lateral ditches. All plots were fertilized with 7 lb of 5-16-8-1.2 + micronutrients/100 linear bed feet (LBF) applied in a 30 inch wide band on a pre-bed and bedded over to a depth of 3-4 inches, and 14 Ib of 19-0-30/100 LBF applied on the surface of the finished bed in a narrow band 10 inches to each side of the plant row. The plant beds were fumigated with VorlexR at 21 ounces/100 LBF and then mulched with black plastic film. Plants were staked but not pruned. Fungicides were applied on a 5-7 day schedule and insecticides were applied on a need basis. General weather conditions during this trial are shown in Table 2. Insects and diseases were not a serious problem in this test. Tomatoes were harvested on April 30, May 7, and on May 16, 1984. At each harvest fruit were graded, sized, counted and weighed. Per acre yields in this report are based on 7,260 linear feet of plant bed. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Table 3 shows the marketable yields for each of the 20 entries. Marketable yields for the first harvest ranged from a high of 768 25 Ib boxes/A for 'Independence', which produced a significantly higher yield than 13 of the remaining entries, to a low of 116 25 Ib boxes/A for entry 7078. At the second harvest PSR72482 had the highest yield, 3033 25 lb boxes/A, closely followed by 'Atlantic City' at 2991 25 lb boxes/A. These two entries had yields higher than 8 of the remaining entries. The highest third harvest yield came from IProfessor and Biologist, respectively, IFAS, University of Florida Agricultural Research and Education Center, Immokalee, Florida 33934 -2- entry 7025 at 1344 25 lb boxes/A. None of the entries maintained its rank as highest in yield throughout all harvests. Shamrock #1 ranked 6th in yield for the first harvest, 5th for the second harvest and 6th for the third harvest but ranked first in total marketable yield at 4454 25 lb boxes/A. Shamrock #1 was closely followed by PSR72482 at 4408 25 lb boxes/A. Yields from Shamrock #1 and PSR72482 were significantly better than the 6 lowest yielding entries. Average weight of fruit for the first harvest (Table 4) ranged from 11.0 oz for 7078 to 6.1 oz for XPH724 and 'Pirate'. Entries 7078 and 7065 ranked significantly larger in size than all other entries. Entry 7060 ranked third in size and was significantly larger than the remaining 17 entries. For the second harvest fruit weights ranged from 7.6 oz for 7060 and 7065 to 5.1 oz for 'Pirate', XPH724, 'Hayslip' and 'Independence'. Entries 7065 and 7060 ranked significantly larger in size than all other entries. Entry 7078 ranked third in size and was significantly larger than the remaining entries. The same three entries, 7078 (5.5 oz), 7065 (5.4 oz), and 7060 (5.3 oz) ranked largest in size for the third harvest and were significantly larger in size than all other entries. Entry 7025 had the lowest percentage (2.9%) of cull fruit and 7065 had the highest (21.3%) (Table 4). One of the 20 entries had cull percentage in the 0-5% range, 13 entries were in the 5-10% range, 5 entries were in the 10-15% range, and 1 entry was over 15%. Categories of cull fruit, by harvest, are shown in Table 5. Leaky blossom- end-scars (BES) were responsible for the highest percentage of cull fruit in both the first and second harvests. Entry 7065 had the highest percentage of BES in both the first and second harvests, followed by GSV 82-021 in the first harvest. Radial cracking (CR) was of minor importance in the first and second harvests but was responsible for more cull fruit in the third harvest. Shamrock #2 tended to be very pointed at the blossom end. The most severely pointed fruit were culled as odd shaped. There was some gray wall in the first harvest for 'Independence' (7.9%), 'Atlantic City' (7.5%), and GSV 82-021 (4.8%). Yellow shoulder, and cat facing accounted for some culls but were not a serious problem. Entry 7078 had the highest percentage of zipper scars for the first harvest. Other categories such as decay and scarring accounted for a considerable number of fruit in both harvests. Table 6 shows the percent (by weight) of the total marketable fruit in each of four size categories for the first, second, and third harvest, and all three harvests combined.
