AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH & EDUCATION CENTER IFAS, University of Florida Immokalee, Florida ,- -- STAKED TOMATO VARIETY TRIAL RES S SPRING Paul H. Everett and Karen A. Armbres er' i Immokalee AREC Research Report IMM85-3 -/p..S. It c F st 1985 A replicated trial was conducted at the Agricultural Research and Education Center, Immokalee, Florida, during the spring season (January-May) of 1985 to evaluate the performance of twenty-four tomato cultivars and/or breeding lines. Table 1 is a list of entries and seed sources used in this trial. EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE All entries were seeded in ToddR planter trays #150 (1.5 x 1.5 x 2.5 inch cell size) on December 17, 1984, and were transplanted to field plots on January 28, 1985. Field plots were arranged in randomized complete blocks with four replic- ations of each entry. Each plot consisted of 10 plants spaced 15 inches apart in the row on raised plant beds spaced on 6 foot 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 5-8-8-1.2 + micronutrients/100 linear bed feet applied in a 30-inch wide band on a pre-bed and bedded over to a depth of 3-4 inches, and a total of 14 lb of 19-0-30/100 linear bed feet applied on the surface of the finished bed in narrow bands 10 inches to each side of the plant row. The plant beds were fumigated with VorlexR at 21 ounces/100 linear bed feet and then mulched with white plastic film. Plants were staked but not pruned. Fungicides were applied on a 5-7 day schedule and insecticides were applied as needed. 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 29, and May 8, 1985. At each harvest fruit were graded, counted and weighed. Per acre yields in this report are based on 7,260 linear feet of plant bed. Marketable yields for the first harvest ranged from a high of 1633 25-1b cartons/A for XPH5074 which produced a significantly higher yield than 22 of the remaining 23 entries, to a low of 749 25-1b cartons/A for 'Sanga' (Table 3). The entry which ranked second in yield at first harvest, PSX53080 at 1288 25-1b cartons/A, had yields significantly higher than 4 of the remaining entries. At the second harvest there were slight differences among the cultivars tested. 7129 ranked highest in yield at 2360 25-1b cartons/A, which was significantly higher in yield than seven of the remaining entries. 'Sanga' had the lowest yield at 1195 25-1b cartons/A, which was significantly lower in yield than 9 of the remaining entries. Total marketable yields ranged from a high of 3495 25-1b cartons/A for XPH5074, which was significantly higher in yield than 12 of the remaining entries, to a low of 1944 25-1b cartons/A for 'Sanga', which was significantly lower in yield than 19 of the remaining entries. IProfessor and Biologist, respectively, IFAS, University of Florida Agricultural Research & Education Center, Immokalee, Florida 33934 Average weight of fruit for the first harvest (Table 4) ranged from 8.46 oz for XPH5074, which was significantly heavier in size than 22 of the 23 remaining entries, to a low of 6.15 oz for 'Pirate'. 'Florenta' ranked second in weight at 7.89 oz which was significantly heavier in size than 19 entries. For the second harvest, XPH5074, 'Florenta' and HXP2797 had the heaviest fruit. Overall, XPH5074 had the heaviest fruit at 6.78 oz, followed by 'Florenta' at 6.73 oz. These two entries were significantly heavier in size than all the remaining entries. Percent cull fruit are shown in Table 4 with 7131 having the lowest percentage (13.7%) and 7145 having the highest (34.5%). Two of the 24 entries had cull percentages in the 10-15% range, 12 entries were in the 15-20% range, 5 entries were in the 20-25% range, 2 entries were in the 25-30% range and 3 entries were over 30%. Categories of cull fruit, by harvest, are in Table 5. Leaky blossom-end-scars (BES) were responsible for the highest percentage of cull fruit for both the first and second harvest. 7145 (27.7%) had the highest percentage BES in the first harvest. 'Duke' (23.8%) had the highest percentage BES in the second harvest, followed by 7145 (17.9%). 'Sanga' had a high percentage of puff (open locules) in both harvests and 'Florenta' had a high percentage in the second harvest. Radial cracking, odd shape, zipper scars, cat facing and others (decay, scars, etc.) accounted for some culls at each harvest but were not outstanding for any particular entry. Table 1.
