The Effects of Different Planting Systems on Yield and Quality in Organic Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) Growing

Abstract

The present study was carried out to determine the effects of two different planting systems (standard raised bed, gable raised bed and flat planting practices on yield and quality parameters of Sümela F1 tomatoes organically grown in the field. The study, raised beds had a higher (P˂0.01) mean fruit weight (g fruit-1) yield (kg plant-1), fruit firmness (N), soluble solids content (%), titratable acidity (%) and vitamin C (mg 100g-1) content than flat planting. The highest mean fruit weight (95.7 g fruit-1), yield (5.6 kg plant-1) and soluble solids content SSC (8 %) were obtained from gable raised bed application. The highest values for fruit firmness (17.2 N) titratable acidity (0.71 %) and vitamin C (30.8 mg 100g-1) content were obtained from standard raised bed application. It was concluded that raised beds (standard and gable) could have significant effects on the yield and quality parameters of tomatoes.
