On-Farm Evaluation Of Tomato Cultivars For Disease Resistance, 2008, Elizabeth Maynard, Butch Zandstra, Dan Egel
On-Farm Evaluation Of Tomato Cultivars For Disease Resistance, 2008, Elizabeth Maynard, Butch Zandstra, Dan Egel
Purdue Fruit and Vegetable Research Reports
"Bacterial spot of tomatoes (Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria) causes lesions on leaves, stems and fruit. Under conditions of hot, humid, rainy weather, defoliation can result in a loss of yield. In addition, lesions on fruit result in a direct loss of marketability. This disease is managed primarily with applications of fixed copper bactericides, crop rotations, greenhouse sanitation, and healthy seed/transplants. Even in properly managed commercial fields, however, bacterial spot can cause yield losses. Although there are no varieties with complete resistance to bacterial spot, we report here the results of an on-farm trial that indicates some varieties may have partial …

Fresh Market Tomato Cultivar Evaluation For Northern Indiana, 2005, Elizabeth T. Maynard
Fresh Market Tomato Cultivar Evaluation For Northern Indiana, 2005, Elizabeth T. Maynard
Purdue Fruit and Vegetable Research Reports
The Indiana Agricultural Statistics Service reported that tomatoes for fresh market sales were harvested from 1,700 acres in Indiana in 2004 and had a total value of $21 million. Tomato fields are located throughout the state. Traditional wholesale buyers look for a large, firm, round tomato that will be red when ripe. Tomato growers are interested in identifying cultivars that show resistance to common foliar diseases like early blight and bacterial spot. Eleven semideterminate large-fruited red tomato varieties were evaluated in a replicated trial at the Pinney-Purdue Agricultural Center in Wanatah, Indiana. Four indeterminate varieties reported to be resistant to …

Fresh Market Tomato Cultivar Evaluation For Northern Indiana, 2004, Elizabeth T. Maynard
Purdue Fruit and Vegetable Research Reports
This paper reports on twelve fresh market tomato varieties that were evaluated in a replicated trial at the Pinney-Purdue Agricultural Center in Wanatah, Indiana, and six varieties that were observed in unreplicated plots. Characteristics of interest include marketable and total yield and average fruit size.

Grape Tomato Cultivar Evaluation For Northern Indiana, 2003, Elizabeth Maynard
Purdue Fruit and Vegetable Research Reports
Four grape tomato varieties were evaluated in a replicated trial at the Pinney-Purdue Agricultural Center in Wanatah, Indiana. A fifth grape variety and one cherry variety were observed in unreplicated plots. Yield, plant, and fruit characteristics are reported.
Specialty Tomato Variety Observation Trial For Indiana, 2002, Elizabeth Maynard
Specialty Tomato Variety Observation Trial For Indiana, 2002, Elizabeth Maynard
Purdue Fruit and Vegetable Research Reports
The trial reported here is an extension of the specialty tomato trials conducted in Indiana in 2001. In that trial, 16 varieties were grown in replicated trials in two locations to evaluate their performance and suitability for the restaurant salad market. In this trial, the same 16 varieties plus an additional 17 varieties were grown in unreplicated plots for evaluation of yield and culinary quality.

Fresh Market Tomato Cultivar Observation Trial For Northern Indiana, 2001, Elizabeth Maynard
Purdue Fruit and Vegetable Research Reports
Fresh market tomatoes were grown in an unreplicated trial at the Pinney-Purdue Agricultural Center in Wanatah, Indiana. The trial included 11 red beefsteak types, one yellow stuffing type, and one smallfruited yellow type. Yield and average fruit number are reported.

Specialty Tomato Cultivar Trial For Indiana, 2001, Elizabeth Maynard, Dale Rhoads, Sandy Rhoads
Purdue Fruit and Vegetable Research Reports
Colorful tomato salads are a seasonal menu item for some restaurants. The many colors of tomato fruit available include orange, green, white, yellow and, of course, red. Producers growing for this market have a choice of several cultivars of each color, and sometimes several fruit shapes within a color. Many of the cultivars are open-pollinated but some hybrids are available. Prior experience at Rhoads Farm and elsewhere has shown that many open-pollinated cultivars yield poorly under Indiana conditions, making them an unprofitable crop. The trials presented in this report were established to evaluate tomato cultivars for the restaurant salad market.
Fresh Market Tomato Pruning Trial For Northern Indiana, 2001, Elizabeth Maynard
Fresh Market Tomato Pruning Trial For Northern Indiana, 2001, Elizabeth Maynard
Purdue Fruit and Vegetable Research Reports
Pruning tomatoes is known to increase average fruit size and decrease total yield. Effects on marketable yield and early yield vary among cultivars and with the degree of pruning. This trial was conducted to evaluate a range of pruning treatments on two cultivars grown in the Midwest: Mountain Spring and Florida 91. Florida 91 has a larger vine and is later-maturing than Mountain Spring. The trial was conducted at the Pinney-Purdue Agricultural Center in Wanatah, Indiana.

Fresh Market Tomato Cultivar And Pruning Evaluation For Northern Indiana, 2000, Elizabeth Maynard
Purdue Fruit and Vegetable Research Reports
Fresh market tomatoes were evaluated at the Pinney-Purdue Agricultural Center in Wanatah, Indiana. Nine beefsteak types and one roma type were evaluated in a replicated trial. Plants were grown with and without pruning to evaluate pruning effects on yield and fruit quality. The main benefit of pruning is larger fruit size. For some cultivars, there might be an increase in total yield at the first harvest with pruning, as was seen to a small extent for Mt. Spring. Pruning also reduced the incidence of catfacing, especially for early cultivars. The main drawback of pruning is reduced yield. For pruning to …

Fresh Market Tomato Cultivar Evaluation For Northern Indiana, 1999, Elizabeth Maynard
Purdue Fruit and Vegetable Research Reports
Fresh market tomatoes were evaluated at the Pinney-Purdue Ag Center in Wanatah, Indiana. Fourteen cultivars were evaluated in a replicated trial, and 26 cultivars in an unreplicated observation trial. Half of the plants of each cultivar were pruned, and half were not, to evaluate pruning effects on yield and fruit quality. In the replicated trial, averaged over all cultivars,
pruning reduced yield of No. 1 fruit by 41%, increased fruit size by 19%, and increased percentage of cull fruit by one-third. The effect of pruning on early yield depended on the cultivar. Based on these results, pruning would be advised …
