abstract:
The studies were aimed at optimization of nitrogen and potassium nutrition of cherry tomato grown in coconut fibre. The studies were carried out in a greenhouse in the years 2000-2002. Three tomato cultivars (Lycopersicon esculentum var. cerasiforme Alef.): Conchita F1, Flavorino F1 and Favorita F1 were grown. Applied nutrient solutions differed in the amount of nitrogen, potassium and N:K ratio. Yield (early, marketable and out-of-selection yields) and fruit quality were evaluated. Both the amounts of nitrogen and potassium, as well as the N:K ratio in the nutrient solutions significantly affected the yield of tomato. Depending on the cultivar, the optimal N:K ratio was within the range of 1:1.3-1.4, the nitrogen content was within 207-250 mg dm-3, and potassium content ranged from 298 to 325 mg dm-3. No explicit effect of the applied nutrients on the nutritive values of the grown tomato cultivars was found.
