Abstract

The tomato is an important fruit, both fresh and processed, for human nutrition worldwide, and plays a significant role in agriculture. Especially in the agricultural system where chemical fertilizers are not used, there may be significant differences in the quantity and quality of tomatoes. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of four types of fertilizer applications (microbial, compost, mixture [2 t da−1 manure +2 t da−1 compost +300 g 100 L−1 microbial fertilizer], and manure) on some bioactive compounds and yield of three hybrid cherry tomato cultivars (Pekbal F1, Yeniçeri F1, and İnci F1) obtained from two Turkish seed companies. Interactions between cultivars and fertilizers were investigated for qualitative and quantitative parameters. The highest yields were obtained by application of the compost in İnci, Pekbal, and Yeniçeri (1780, 1790, and 668 kg da−1, respectively). İnci F1 had the highest total soluble solids (8.82%) followed by Yeniçeri (7.64%) and Pekbal (6.90%). Yeniçeri was the least-producing cultivar with four different fertilizer applications. Another important parameter, vitamin C, was highest (32.18 mg 100 g−1) in İnci F1 followed by Yeniçeri (30.44 mg 100 g−1) and Pekbal (30.20 mg 100 g−1). Pekbal and İnci cultivars were the most productive under the different applications. Among the organic fertilizers used in this study, compost application was the most productive for all three cherry tomato cultivars.

Zusammenfassung

Die Tomate ist weltweit sowohl frisch als auch verarbeitet eine wichtige Frucht für die menschliche Ernährung und spielt eine wichtige Rolle in der Landwirtschaft. Insbesondere in landwirtschaftlichen Systemen, in denen keine chemischen Düngemittel verwendet werden, kann es zu erheblichen Unterschieden in der Quantität und Qualität der Tomaten kommen. Das Ziel dieser Studie war es, die Auswirkungen von 4 verschiedenen Düngeranwendungen (mikrobiell, Kompost, Mischung [2 t Mist pro Dekar +2 t Kompost pro Dekar +300 g mikrobieller Dünger pro 100 l], Mist) auf einige bioaktive Verbindungen und den Ertrag von 3 Hybrid-Kirschtomatensorten (Pekbal F1, Yeniçeri F1 und İnci F1) zu analysieren, welche von 2 türkischen Saatgutunternehmen bezogen wurden. Untersucht wurde eine Wechselwirkung zwischen Sorten und Düngemitteln bezüglich qualitativer und quantitativer Parameter. Der höchste Tomatenertrag wurde durch Anwendung des Komposts bei İnci, Pekbal und Yeniçeri (1780, 1790 bzw. 668 kg pro Dekar) erzielt. İnci F1 wies die höchste Gesamtmenge an löslichen Feststoffen (8,82 %) auf, es folgten Yeniçeri (7,64 %) und Pekbal (6,90 %). Yeniçeri war die am wenigsten ertragreiche Sorte in allen 4 verschiedenen Düngungsvarianten. Für einen weiteren wichtigen Parameter, Vitamin C, gab es die höchsten Werte (32,18 mg pro 100 g) in İnci F1, es folgten Yeniçeri (30,44 mg pro 100 g) und Pekbal (30,20 mg pro 100 g). Die ertragreichsten Sorten bei den verschiedenen Anwendungen waren Pekbal und İnci. Von den in dieser Studie verwendeten organischen Düngemitteln erwies sich die Kompostapplikation bei allen 3 Kirschtomatensorten als produktivster Ansatz.
