~, 2- .._ Central Science Library SOUTHWEST FLORIDA RESEARCH AND EDUCATION CE TER library IFAS, University of Florida CT 2 7 Route 1, Box 2G Inmmokalee, Florida University of Florida Immokalee SWFREC Research Report IIM86-2 March, 1986 STAKED TOMATO VARIETY TRIAL RESULTS FALL.1985 Paul H. Everett and Karen A. Armbrester1 A replicated trial was conducted at the Southwest Florida Research and Education Center, Immokalee, Florida, during the fall season ;(August-December) of 1985 to evaluate the performance of twenty-five 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 August 13, 1985, and were transplanted to field plots on September 4, 1985. Field plots were arranged in randomized complete blocks with four replications of each entry. Each plot consisted of 7 plants spaced 20 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 5-8-8-1.8 + 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. Insects were not a serious problem in this test. Early blight was present and became moderately severe between the first and second harvests. General weather conditions during this trial are shown in Table 2. Tomatoes were harvested on December 2, and December 11, 1985. At each harvest fruit were graded, counted and weighed. Per acre yields are based on 7,260 linear feet of plant bed. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Table 3 shows the marketable yields for each of the 25 entries. Marketable yields for the first harvest ranged from a high of 1832 25-lb cartons/7260 LBF for 'FTE 23' to a low of 761 25-lb cartons/7260 LBF for 'Horizon'. For highest first harvest marketable yields, ten entries are not significantly different from each other. They are 'FTE 23' (1832 25-lb cartons/7260 LBF), 'Duke' (1821), ACX 8513 (1740), SR445 (1622), ACX 5 x 5 (1561), ACX 8412 (1536), Hybrid 724 (1515), 'Flora-Tom II' (1493), 'Sunny' (1491), and 'Pirate' (1460). Yields from all entries were statistically equal at the second harvest. SR445 (2937 25-lb cartons/ 7260 LBF) had the highest total marketable yield for the season but was significantly higher in yield than only 9 of the remaining 24 entries. 'Professor and Biologist, respectively, IFAS, University of Florida Southwest Florida Research and Education Center, Immokalee, Florida 33934 -2- Average weight of fruit for the first harvest (Table 4) ranged from a high of 8.0 oz ACX 5x5 to a low of 6.5 oz for ACX 8513 with eighteen of the 25 entries statistically equal for the largest average fruit weight. There were no significant differences in fruit weight at the second harvest, which ranged from a high of 5.5 oz for 7124 to a low of 4.6 oz for hybrid 724. Overall, the heaviest fruit were produced by 'FTE 23' (6.8 oz), 'Duke' (6.6 oz), ACX 5x5 (6.5 oz), XPH 5011 (6.4 oz), ACX 8412 (6.3 oz), 7177 (6.3 oz), 'Pirate'(6.3 oz), and XPH 5074 (6.3 oz). Percent cull fruit are shown in Table 4 with 'Duke' (26.0%), 'FTE 23' (23.5%), and XPH 5011 (22.3%) producing the most culls. 'Hayslip' consistently had a low production of cull fruit throughout the season. Categories of cull fruit, by harvest, are shown in Table 5. Leaky blossom- end-scars (BES) were responsible for the highest percentages of cull fruit for the first harvest. 'FTE 23' and 7176 had a high percentage of puffiness (open locules) in both harvests. 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.
