FrL SOUTHWEST FLORIDA RESEARCH AND EDUCATION CENTER ( '_7 IFAS, University of Florida Central Science Route 1, Box 2G Library Immokalee, Florida OCT 23 1987 Immokalee SWFREC Research Report IMM87-2 February, 1987 Un uavs~ty of Florida STAKED TOMATO VARIETY TRIAL RESULTS FALL 1986 Paul H. Everett and Karen A. Armbrester A replicated trial was conducted at the Southwest Florida Research and Education Center, Immokalee, Florida, during the fall season (August-December) of 1986 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 August 12, 1986, and were transplanted to field plots on September 10, 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 52 feet apart. There were 6 plant beds and a drive middle between lateral ditches. On August 25, 1986 all plots were fertilized with 7 lb of 5-16-8-1.8 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. On August 26, 1986, a total of 14 lb of 19-0-30/100 LBF was applied on the surface of the finished bed in narrow Spnds 10 inchesRto each side of the plant row. The plant beds were fumigated with Vorlex at 21 ounces/100 LBF 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 and diseases were not a serious problem in this test. General weather conditions during this trial are shown in Table 2. Tomatoes were harvested on November 20, November 25, and December 3, 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 24 entries. Marketable yields for the first harvest ranged from a high of 1143 25-lb cartons/7260 LBF for 'Royal Flush' and 'Bingo' to a low of 587 25-lb Professor and Biologist, respectively, IFAS, University of Florida, Southwest Florida Research and Education Center, Immokalee, Florida 33934 cartons/7260 LBF for 7183. Eighteen of the 26 entries were statistically equal for highest first harvest yield. Yields from all entries were statistically equal at the second harvest. Third harvest yields ranged from a high of 1352 25-lb cartons/7260 LBF for 'All Star' to a low of 600 25-lb cartons/7260 LBF for 'Gator' with 13 of the entries statistically equal for highest third harvest yields. Nine entries were statistically equal for highest total marketable yields. They are 'All Star' (3166 25-lb cartons/7260 LBF), PSR 76184 (3052), 'Pacific' (2925), ACX 8412 (2813), 'Floratom II' (2808), 7182 (2783), PSR 34283 (2768), 'Jackpot' (2743), and 'Royal Flush' (2713). Relative maturity was determined by the percent color (breakers, and red ripes) at first harvest (Table 3). 'Jackpot' was judged to be the earliest variety in this test with 69.7% of its fruit showing color at first harvest. Entries 7192 (no color), 7181 (1.0% color) and 7168 (3.2% color) were judged to be the latest maturing varieties. There were no significant differences in fruit weight for first harvest, second harvest or third harvest (Table 4). Overall, average fruit weight ranged from 6.6 ounces per fruit for 'Gator' to 5.8 ounces per fruit for 'Jackpot' with 15 of the entries statistically equal to 'Gator' for heaviest fruit. Percent cull fruit are shown in Table 5 and categories of cull fruit, by harvest, are shown in Tables 6, 7, and 8. There were few differences among varieties for percent cull during this test. At first harvest 7183 (16.6%) had the highest percent of cull fruit along with PSR 34283 (13.6%), ACX 5x5 (11.2%), and 'FTE 12' (10.5%). 'Gator' had a high percentage of cull fruit at the third harvest largely due to radial cracking\at the calyx. Large and leaky blossom-end-scars accounted for the highest percentages of cull fruit throughout the trial with puff and cracking becoming more prevalent by the third harvest. Table 1.
