Abstract Tomato rooting patterns were evaluated in a 2-year field trial where surface drip irrigation (R0) was compared with subsurface drip irrigation at 20 cm (RI) and 40 cm (RII) depths. Pot-transplanted plants of two processing tomato, `Brigade' (C1) and `H3044' (C2), were used. The behaviour of the root system in response to different irrigation treatments was evaluated through minirhizotrons installed be...
Abstract Tomato rooting patterns, root length density (cm/cm3) and root length intensity (cm/cm2), were evaluated in a field trial with pot transplanted plants where three irrigation regimes (0.5, 0.7 and 1 ETm) and three nitrogen application levels: 50, 150 and 250 kg N/ha as Ca (NO3)2 were imposed. Root length was measured from soil-root samples taken with a hand auger, at three distances across the planting ...
The mechanical harvesting of processing tomatoes using a "Sandei Bs-81" mechanical harvester increased the percentage of mechanically damaged fruits when compared to manual harvesting. The percentage of fruits without mechanical damage at the end of the unloading belt was almost totally explained by the independent variable, % of green fruits / % of rotten fruits, according to the following adjusted curve y = x...
