EFFECT OF SOWING DATE AND STAGE OF MATURITY AT HARVEST ON YIELD AND QUALITY OF TOMATO FOR EXPORT

Abstract

Studies were conducted at Shambat Research Farm and Food Research Center Laboratories to determine the relationship between sowing date and maturity stage to harvest and their influence on the quality of tomato for export.

At all sowing dates harvesting at mature green stage resulted in higher yield compared to harvesting at breaker (turning) and table ripe stages.

Although subjective evaluation of quality showed that fruits harvested at table ripe were visually better than those harvested at breaker and/or mature green, chemical analysis showed no significant differences among the three harvest maturities in TSS, ascorbic acid, titratable acidity or pH.
