Fresh Market Tomato Cultivar Observation Trial For Northern Indiana, 2001, Elizabeth Maynard
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.
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 …
