With the aim of studying the influence of "warming" on ripening, yield and quality of the husk tomato fruit, an experiment was conducted at the "Zacatepec", Morelos Agricultural Experiment Station during the 1981-1982 winter cycle, using the varieties Mor-26, Mor-37, Rendidora and Criolla del Valle de Mexico. Eight treatments of six types of "warming" were applied, plus one treatment of reduction to the ripening of the fifth fruit and one absolute control, which consisted of harvesting all the tomatoes when they were ripening. An experimental design of random blocks with four repetitions was used. A factorial arrangement was used to analyze the results. For average yield per plant, no significant differences were found between the various "warming" treatments, except in relation to the absolute control. In addition, it was concluded that the results are the same whether "warming" is done with ripe or unripe fruit and that this practice accelerates the ripening of the fruit, and is achieved by cutting one or three ripe or unripe tomatoes from each plant. The varieties Mor-26, Mor-37 and Rendidora surpassed the variety Criolla del Valle de Mexico, both in commercial yield and in yield of large size tomatoes. Out of the six cuttings done, the number of commercial produces per plant was concentrated principally in the fourth and sixth cuttings.
