Maji Yaw Htung (2005)

Abstract

          Seven hybrids cherry tomatoes together with an open-pollinated variety CH 154 as check evaluated for yield and yield components, agronomic characters and organoleptic test under Nakhon Pathom, Thailand conditions. TX4003, TX4008 and TX4009 were better than CH145 and other lines in terms of marketable yield, average fruits weight, and number of fruits per plant, percent marketable yield by fruit weight and by fruit number. The acceptability of line 4B4141 in terms of taste was better than CH 154 and also the best among the lines in organoleptic test, brix and fruit firmness.

Introduction

           

Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) is native to the Andes mountain of South America, where it was used long before Columbus. It was taken to Europe where it was a popular vegetable by the 1500s. The tomato did not gain wide acceptance in the United States until the mid 1800s. Tomatoes are warm season crop and tomato does not thrive in cold weather and will not set fruit at temperatures below 14.4^oC. Tomato should be grown where they will receive at least 6 hr of direct sunlight and it does not set fruit above 29.4^o C. Most Lycopersicon related species, namely L. hirsutum, L. peruvianum and L. pimpinellifolium
