| Abstract:
Tomato planted during late winter in northern Egypt is subject to frost injury. Productivity is rather low during this period as well, and the price is fairly high. The possibility of commercial tomato production(Money Maker cvs.) under different sizes of plastic tunnels were evaluated in the farm of Faculty of Agriculture, Kafr El-Sheikh, during 1975/76 and 1976/77 seasons. Comparison between uncovered and plants grown under plastic tunnels conserning growth, fruit set and yield were discussed in the meantime. Plastic walk-in tunnels proved to be technically and statistically as the best trial. | |
