STAKED TOMATO VARIETY TRIAL RESULTS-SPRING 1986
Paul H. Everett and Karen A. Armbresterl

A replicated trial was conducted at the Southwest Florida
Research and Education Center, Immokalee, Florida, during the
spring season (January-May) of 1986 to evaluate the performance
of twenty-eight 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 19, 1985, and were
transplanted to field plots on January 30, 1986. 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 5-16-8-1.2 and 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 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 black 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 detected
during late February and rapidly became scattered throughout the
trial. Serious leaf damage was prevented by increased
applications of fungicide sprays. General weather conditions
during this trial are shown in Table 2. Tomatoes were harvested
on April 25, 1986, and May 8, 1986. 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 28
entries. Marketable yields for the first harvest ranged from a
high of 1001 25-lb cartons/7260 LBF for Hybrid 26 to a low of 341
25-lb cartons/7260 LBF for 'Pirate'. For highest first harvest

marketable yields, eleven entries are not significantly different
from each other. They are Hybrid 26 (1001 25-lb cartons/7260
LBF), 7182 (997), ACX 5x5 (968), 'FTE 23' (896), XPH5074 (874),
'Horizon' (841), FMX 79 (831), 7175 (824), 'All Star' (804), 7181
(695), and Hybrid 724 (682). Yields from all entries were
statistically equal at the second harvest and for total
marketable yield.

Relative maturity was determined by comparing first harvest
marketable yields with the total marketable yields (Table 3).
ACX 5x5 and 'Horizon' were judged to be the earliest with 38% and
37% respectively, of their fruit maturing by the first harvest.
'Pirate' was judged to be the latest entry with 16% of its fruit
maturing by first harvest.

Average weight of fruit for the first harvest (Table 4)
ranged from a high of 6.1 oz for Hybrid 26, XPH 5074, and 'Duke'
to a low of 5.2 oz for NS 264 with 21 of the 28 entries
statistically equal for the largest average fruit weight. At the
second harvest 7178 (6.2 oz) had statistically heavier fruit than
all but one entry, XPH 5074 (5.9 oz). Overall, the heaviest
fruit were produced by 7178 (6.0 oz), XPH 5074 (5.9 oz), Hybrid
26 (5.8 oz), 'FTE 23' (5.8 oz), ACX 5x5 (5.8 oz), XPH 5011 (5.7
oz), FMX 79 (5.6 oz), 'Duke' (5.6 oz) and XPH 5031 (5.6 oz).

Percent cull fruit are shown in Table 4. 7178 consistently
had a low percentage of culls throughout the trial with its
overall cull rate significantly better than 17 of the remaining
entries.

Categories of cull fruit, by harvest, are shown in Table 5.
Large and leaky blossom-end-scars (BES) were responsible for the
highest percentages of cull fruit for the first and second
harvests.
