Trials were conducted during winter and spring (January-June). The following four crop densities were investigated: 2.08; 2.50; 3.12 and 4.17 plants/square meter. The properties monitored were: number of tomato fruits per plant, fruit weight, fruit yield per plant and fruit yield per unit area (kg/square meter). The American hybrid Big Bif was used in the trial. Investigations were conducted in 2003 and 2004. On average each plant yielded 26.35 fruits. The number of tomato fruits was greater in thin plant populations. The average fruit weight was 115.24 g and had a declining trend in denser plant populations. The same may be concluded with regard to fruit yield per plant. Its average weight amounted to 3.04 kg. On average 8.78 kg of tomatoes were obtained on 1 square meter. Increasing plant density tended to increase yield. The most favourable crop density in glasshouse tomato production was 3 plants/square meter.
