Post harvest repining of fruits for late field tomato production depending on the age and planting area of the seedlings
Nikolina Shopova, Dimitar Cholakov
Abstract: The experiment was carry out during 2011–2012 in Department of Horticulture at Agriculture University – Plovdiv with “Opal F1 hibrid bg”. The variants with 20–25, 30–35 and 40–45 day seedlings cultivated in containers with 40, 66 and 104 cells and planting area respectively 44, 28, 17 cm2, were tested. As a control was used 20–25 day seedlings, grown in a transplanting bed and planting area 26–28 cm2 per plant (350–380 plants/m2). Yield, dynamic of post harvest ripening fruit, harvested in October and put in ambient condition and their quality were established. The yield of post harvest ripening fruits was the highest in variant with 20–25 day seedlings, grown in containers with 66 cells. The dynamic of post harvest ripening and the quality parameters were not significantly different.
