Organically-grown tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.)

Meer over het boek

Twenty eight genotypes of tomato were organically cultivated in two locations (Schönhagen and Ellingerode, Germany) in different two years. Plant infection by Phytophthora infestans was evaluated as well as the fruit nutritional and quality parameters (content of lycopene, phenolic compounds, ascorbic acid antioxidant capacity, mineral nutrients and organic compounds). It was also of interest to find a connection between infection and fruit quality.
