Two insecticidal spray frequencies, 0 and 3x per week, against the sweetpotato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci Gennadius, were evaluated at three K rates, 190, 380 and 760 kg.ha-1, for their effect on whitefly population, fruit yield and incidence of irregular ripening on tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum Mill., cv. Sunny. Whitefly populations were reduced with three weekly sprays, but not by K rates. Early yields were best with three weekly sprays and with the highest K rate. For the season, yield of extra large (≥ 70 mm diameter) fruit was reduced with three weekly sprays and with increasing K rates. Proportions of irregularly ripened fruits were similar with either spray frequency, but were reduced at the highest K rate.

Large Yield

Vermiculite–perlite–clay (Putnam subsoil) mixtures with added nutrients were evaluated as growth media for periods up to 112 days in 3.8-liter jars using tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. Patio Hybrid) as a test plant. Although vermiculite–perlite (V–P) ratio had no effect, subsoil levels above 50 g/jar and low N rate (22.5 meq/50 g subsoil) gave greatest growth of 42-day transplants. For long-term periods (112 days), only fruit yield was affected by V–P ratio, a 1:1 (vol/vol) proportion giving the highest yield. Large yield increases were obtained by increasing subsoil to the 150-g or 300-g levels. Fresh and dry plant weights increased with each increment of subsoil, and high N rate (45 meq/50 g subsoil) increased both vegetative growth and fruit yield to levels approaching those obtained with Cornell peat-lite mix A. The V–P clay mixes held more than twice the available moisture present in the peat-lite mix.

The Impact

Abstract Substrate type and irrigation interval were studied to determine their impact on the post-transplant root growth of ‘Thumbelina' zinnia (Zinnis elegans Jacq.) and ‘Celebrity Hybrid' tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.). Seeds of both species were planted in 80 cm3 (2.7 fl oz) plug cells containing either Metromix 360™ (MM360) or Ball Professional Growing Mix™ (BPGM) and, following germination, the seedlings were transplanted into 450 cm3 (27.5 in3) plastic pots containing the same substrate. Evapotranspiration (ETO) was measured gravimetrically each day and the water lost via ETO added back to the substrate at intervals of 24, 48 or 96hr. For zinnia, root growth was consistently better for seedlings grown in BPGM, a substrate with greater water holding capacity and air-filled porosity. For plants grown in BPGM and irrigated every 48hr, root dry weight was significantly greater than it was for any of the remaining treatments. For tomato, root growth was greater for seedlings grown in BPGM and for transplants irrigated at 96 hr intervals; but, unlike zinnia, no significant interactions between substrate type and irrigation interval were observed. The results of this study show that root growth of plug-grown transplants can be improved by selecting a substrate with high porosity that allows for optimum oxygen and water exchange, and by extending the irrigation cycle to 48 hr (zinnia) or 96 hr (tomato). Index words: irrigation scheduling, moisture stress, plant establishment, soilless growing media, transplant production Species used in this study: ‘Thumbelina' zinnia (Zinnia elegans Jacq.); ‘Celebrity Hybrid' (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.).

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of NK chemical fertilizers in combination with compost on the growth and yield attributes of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.). The pot experiment was done in a complete randomized block design possessing eight treatments with four replicates. Fruit weight, pulp weight, seed weight, total soluble solid, leaf area and dry weights of plat parts were taken and fruit yield was calculated. All the collected data were subjected to statistical analysis. The results revealed that there were significant differences in fruit and seed weights, total soluble solid, pulp weight, 100 seed weight, pulp consistency, leaf area and crop residue. In these parameters, higher mean values were recorded in chemical fertilizers (7.5 g N + 6 g K2O + 15 g P2O5 per m2) with compost (2 kg per m2) than those in the chemical fertilizers applied alone (9.0 g N + 8 g K2O + 15 g P2O5 per m2as standard control). Total soluble solid and fruit yield were 5.73 obrix and 3.21 kg/m2 respectively in the chemical fertilizers with compost (7.5 g N + 6 g K2O + 15 g P2O5 +2 kg compost per m2) treated plants and these were statically on par with the standard control which gave 4.36 obrix total soluble solid and 3.05 kg/m2 fruit yield. The result could be concluded that application of chemical fertilizers (7.5 g N + 6 g K2O + 15 g P2O5 per m2) with compost (2 kg per m2) could increase the total soluble solid and fruit yield as well as reduce the usage of chemical fertilizers in tomato cultivation over the standard control in sandy regosol.
