Behavior of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum, Mill) varieties within two seeding periods in Velasco, Holguín
Main Article Content
Abstract
esculentum, Mill) varieties was developed in Velasco locality,
Holguín province for two years, in order to evaluate its
agroproductive and phytosanitary behaviour. Trials were
performed from February to May of 2001 and from December
of 2001 to March of 2002, with the varieties INCA-9-1 and
Campbell-28, respectively, as control. The experiments were
conducted on a non-carbonated brown soil, in randomized
blocks with four replicates. Fruit weight and number per plant,
yield and behaviour facing pest and disease attack were
evaluated. Significant variations among the studied genotypes
were recorded in fruit number per plant, weight and yield, in
which the best results were reached, in the late period, for the
varieties Amalia, Mariela and Mara, and in the optimum one
for Mariela, Amalia and INIFAT-28. In both experiments, the
diseases that affected most were early blight (Alternaria solani)
and yellow leaf roll (viruses), that reached its utmost incidence
in the late period.
