THE INFLUENCE OF POTASSIUM, CALCIUM AND IRRIGATION TREATMENTS ON TOMATO FRUIT QUALITY |
| Authors: | R. A. Amable, S. Sinnadurai |
| Abstract:
In experiments on box-grown tomatoes, K and Ca had no effects on the soluble solids content and titratable acidity of the fruits. Irrigation every 3 days decreased soluble solids and titratable acidity compared with 5-day irrigation. The incidence of blotchy ripening decreased with K treatment, in contrast to Ca, but the effects of irrigation treatments on blotchy ripening were not consistent. | |
