Abstract. ‘Organza’ produced significantly highest total and marketable yield. ‘Favorita’ and ‘Goldita’ had higher dry matter, contained more soluble solution, total sugar and vitamin C. Yield and quality of cherry tomato fruits growing on cocofibre and rockwool were similar.

Height and quality of yield of cherry tomato grown
on cocofibre and rockwool

Summary

Four cherry tomato cvs. (‘Favorita’, ‘Goldita’, ‘Flavorino’, ‘Organza’) on two substrates: cocofibre and rockwool were grown in 2005 and 2006. The yield and quality of cherry tomato fruit were affected mostly by the cultivars. No significant difference between yield and quality parameters of tomato fruits in comparison with rockwool showed cocofibre as a good and environment friendly substrate.
