HIGH TEMPERATURE DAMAGE IS ENCOUNTERED WITH TOMATO FRUITS AND SEEDS FROM SUN HEATING OF FRUITS NOT COVERED BY FOLIAGE. |
| Authors: | A. LIPTAY, L. MOORE |
| Abstract:
It was previously found that seeds harvested from tomato fruits grown under weedy conditions, had a much higher level of seed vigour than those grown in weed-free conditions. It was postulated that the low seed vigour under weed-free conditions was a negative effect of insufficient foliage cover resulting in high fruit temperatures hindering fruit and seed development. | |
