Effect of Organic Fertilizers on Yield Components of Some Tomato Cultivar

Abstract

The aim of the study was to determine the effects of organic fertilizers on yield components in furrow irrigated some tomato cultivars in Konya, Turkey. As plant materials; H-2274, Olga F₁, Abundance, V-200 F₁, Topkapi F₁, ACN-55 F₁, ACN-112 F₁, Porsuk F₁, H-12-63-208 F₁ and ACN-90 F₁ tomato cultivars were used. Two different organic fertilizers namely organic mineral fertilizer (OMF) (1 t ha^-1) and farmyard manure (10 t ha^-1) were applied to soil before planting. In results, the highest yield, fruit number, mean fruit weight, fruit size, fruit height, total soluble solid (TSS) were obtained from ACN-55 F₁ (86.161 t ha^-1) and H-2274 (76.771 t ha^-1); H-2274 (1473.3 number ha^-1) and ACN-55 F₁ (1578.9 number ha^-1); ACN-112 F₁ (100.92 g) and Porsuk F₁ (102.33 g); ACN- 112 F₁ (7.42 cm) and Porsuk F₁ (7.08 cm); ACN-112 F₁ (6.48 cm) and H-12-63-208 F₁ (6.65 cm) and H-2274 (5.78 %) and H-12-63-208 F₁ (5.52 %), respectively. The mean fruit weight was found higher in farmyard manure applied plots (84.01 g) than control.
