Abstract
Organic tomatoes have a significant role in meeting the global food and nutritional security goal, being one of the most cultivated and consumed vegetables.
The objective of the present study was to develop a reference collection by investigation of morphological, agronomical and the qualitative performance.
The collection included tomatoes genetic resources with different origins, which were selected based on their frequently cultivation in Romanian farms, with the aim to test their suitability to organic cultivation.
The experiments were developed for a period of two years in crop rotation, in open field, in certified organic farming conditions.
Phenological, morphological, and physiological features were investigated. Phytophthora infestans, Alternaria solani, Myzus persicae Sulz., Aulacorthum solani Kalt., Macrosiphum euphorbiae Th. were the most common pests and diseases identified.
The results showed significant differences in terms of morphology and phenology, lycopene, carotene contents, soluble solids content, titratable acidity among investigated material.
