STAKED TOMATO VARIETY TRIAL RESULTS-FALL 1988
Calvin E. Arnold 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 1988 to evaluate the performance of
eighteen 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 12,1988,and were transplanted
to field plots on September 12,1988. 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 by open ditch seepage with lateral ditches spaced
52 feet apart. There were 6 plant beds and a drive middle between
lateral ditches.

On August 18,1988 all plots were fertilized with 16.5 lbs of
5-14-8-1.8 and micronutrients /100 linear bed feet (LBF) broadcast
across a pre-bed and bedded over to a depth of 4-5 inches. A total
of 15.2 lbs of 19-0-30/100 LBF was applied on the surface of the
finished beds in narrow bands 10 inches to each side of the plant
row. The beds were fumigated with methyl bromide=chloropicrin
(98%:2%) at 2001b per treated acre and mulched with black plastic
film which was sprayed with white paint before planting. Plants
were staked but not pruned. Fungicides were applied on a 4-5 day
schedule and insecticides were applied as needed. Insects and
diseases were not a serious problem in this test. However, there
was some bacterial wilt that occurred before first harvest. These
plants were removed from the plots. Rodents and other animals
caused random damage throughout the plots as fruit began to mature.

General weather conditions during this trial are shown in
Table 2. Due to unusually hot, dry weather in September some
plants were lost to heat stress and salt damage. On November 22nd
and 23rd there was some fruit drop due to high winds' associated
with tropical storm Keith.

Tomatoes were harvested on December 5, 1988, and December 19,
1988. At each harvest fruit were graded as cull or marketable.
Marketable fruit were machine sized as small (7 x 7), medium (6
x 7), large (6 x 6) and extra-large (5 x 6). All categories of
fruit including cull were counted and weighed. Each cull fruit was
subjectively placed into one of seven categories (cracks,blossom-
end-scar, odd shape, zipper scar, cat face, puff, or other)
according to the most predominant cull feature. These were
observations only and not subject to statistical evaluation.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Table 3 shows the marketable yields for each of the eighteen
entries and the percent stand at harvest. Yields from all entries
were statistically equal for both the first and second harvests and
for the total. Yields are adjusted to 100% plant stand. There
were large differences in yield among plots of several varietiess
which were primarily caused by rodents and other animals. eeding
as the fruit matured. It was impossible to determine the 'extent
of damage to an entry and its affect on total yields. r-

The relative maturity of a variety was determined 'by the
percent color (breakers, pinks, and red ripes) at first :harvest
(Table 3). Five entries were considered the earliest. They are
IFAS 7211, IFAS 7209,IFAS 7206,'Solar set', and NVH 4461.'

There were no significant differences in fruit weight for the
first harvest (Table 4). At the second harvest nine varieties were
statistically equal for the heaviest fruit;IFAS 7193 (4.9 oz), PSX
77684 (4.8 oz),'Bingo'(4.7 oz), 'Pacific (4.5oz),'Duke' (4.5 oz),
PSR 9586 (4.5oz), IFAS 7182 (4.4 oz), NVH 4459 (4.4oz), ard 'Summer
flavor 6000'(4.4 oz). Overall, average fruit weight ranged from
5.9 ounces per fruit for 'Bingo' to 4.9 ounces per fruit for IFAS
7211 and 'FTE 12' with seven of the entries statistically equal to
'Bingo' for heaviest fruit. Marketable yields for first and second
harvests according to fruit size categories are shown in Table 5.










Percent cull fruit are shown in Table 6 and categories of cull
fruit are shown in Table 7 and 8. At first harvest NVH 4461
(14.2) had .the highest percentage of cull fruit along with 'FTE
12'(12.1), PSX 77684 (12.1), IFAS 7182 (12.0), 'Pacific' (11.1)
and 'Duke' (10.0). Entry FTE 12' (21.6) had the highest percentage
of cull fruit at the second harvest along with NVH 4459 (16.4),
'Bonita' (16.2) and 'Duke' (13.7). Overall cull production ranged
from -16.6% for 'FTE 12' to 3.6% for IFAS 7211.
