The Effects Of Potassium, Calcium And Irrigation Treatments On The Yield And Quality Of Tomatoes (Lycopersicon Esculentum Mill.)

Five experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of potassium (K), calcium (Ca), and irrigation on yield and quality in tomatoes. K at 3 g/plant in a box containing 2.7 m^ of soil decreased the pH and incidence of blotchy ripening of the fruit, and increased the incidence of cracking and the K content of the fruit juice. Four sprays of 0.2% CaCl2 increased the total weight yield of fruit. The average fruit weight increased at the higher irrigation frequency but the number of flowers, fruit number, soluble solids content, titratable acidity, blotchy ripening, and the K content of juice decreased.
