The effect of the irrigation regime on some morphological parameters in some tomato cultivars

Abstract

Among the vegetable species, tomatoes rank first because of their food importance, from a scientific point of view, being one of the most studied species, from breeding to the most standardized cultivation techniques. The aim of the work was to evaluate some morphological parameters (plant height, number of fruits per plant, fruit mass) in four tomato cultivars irrigated with two different irrigation norms. Tomato plant height ranged from 160 cm for the hybrid Minaret F1 irrigated with 300 m3/ha to 235 cm for the cultivar HTP F1 irrigated with 300 m3/ha. The number of fruits per plant ranged from 19 in the case of the cultivar Inima de bou, irrigated with 300 m3/ha, to 27 in the case of the hybrid Siriana, irrigated with 400 m3/ha. Fruit mass varied between 149-173 g.
