Effect of cultivar and growing medium on the fruit quality attributes and antioxidant properties of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)

Background and Objectives: Water scarcity is limiting for tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L) production, due to its sensitive to drought in the different phases of development, so irrigation should be done in an optimal way; because of this, the objective was to evaluate four levels of irrigation in greenhouse tomato varieties. Methods: A completely randomized experimental design with factorial arrangement was used and various agronomic variables, fruit quality and biomass were measured as response variables. Results: Tomatoes were significantly affected (P?0.05) by variety factors (V), irrigation (R), and their interaction. 100% of variety P presented fruits of greater weight (122 g); while weight decreased to 84, 90, 34 and 18 g when reducing water up to 25%, in varieties Cid, P, E and C, respectively. However, in terms of yield and leaf area, 100% of the Cid variety presented the highest values, around 3.3 kg/plant and 8.6 m-2. Conclusions: Variety c was tolerant to water stress and also does not present apical rotting (calcium deficiency) in the fruit.

Randomized Block Design

The present investigation was carried out during the rabi season 2018-19 and 2019-20 at Department of Vegetable Science Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture & Technology Kanpur U.P (208024) India. Experiment was laid out in randomized block design (RBD) with eleven treatments in replicated three times consist of two levels of each micronutrients and growth regulators with control i.e. T0 : Control, T1 : GA3 50ppm, T2 : GA3 100ppm, T3 : NAA 50ppm, T4 : NAA 100ppm, T5 : ZnSO4 0.5%, T6 : ZnSO4 1%, T7 : Boric acid 50ppm, T8 : Boric acid 100ppm, T9 : FeSO4 100ppm and T10: FeSO4 150ppm. Results revealed that there were significant differences between themicronutrients and PGR in tomato fruit quality. From the result it was observed that concentration of GA3 100ppm showed significant effect of fruit quality in tomato Azad-T6
