Abstract
This study was firstly carried out in 2010 year to decide how various planting systems (single, double or triangular planting) and different distances (40×40, 40×50, 40×60, 40×65, 40×80) affects plants in greenhouse growing of organic tomato as out-of-season fruits.
In the experiment; average fruit weight, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), dry matter content, yield plant-1 and total yield were determined.
The highest average fruit weight was 276.3 g and this value was obtained in single row planting.
Average fruit weight varied from 160.3 to 276.3 g.
Dry matter content varied from 7.3 to 13.8% on tomato fruits.
Ascorbic acid values changed in the range of 10.25 to 23.18%. The highest yield (11.91 kg m-2) was recorded in triangular planting and 40×65 cm plant spacing distance application.
