Tomato-cherry production in soilless culture. A threat or a challenge?
1999
Youakim, B.
This work was carried out to elucidate the performance of a new tomato-cherry variety E30150 grown in the soilless technique on three different substrates: perlite, pozzolana, sand. Evaluating the growing parameters, the water consumption and the yield were the main objectives of the trial. Experimentally, the results reveal to be promising: a production 2 to 3 times greater in 40 days of advance, in confront to the traditional greenhouse culture. Also, noteworthy were the reduction in the quantity of fertilizers used and in the phytosanitary treatments adopted. Quality test was conducted giving the optimal results in term of the fruit nutritional content. The soilless techniques is not a static method and the decision making must be well studied in order to properly choose the substrate, the cultivar, the nutritive solution and the efficient control and management.
