Effects of Different Density of Substrate Cultivation on Agronomic Characters of Cherry Tomato
The effects of different planting densities on the growth,phenology,yield and quality of cherry tomato"Shandong Chuanhong"were studied under the substrate pillow cultivation in solar greenhouse,in order to select the suitable substrate planting density of cherry tomato.The results showed that under the same water and fertilizer conditions,leaf area per plant decreased,leaf area index increased and yield per plant decreased with the increase of planting density.Under high density the 3 880 plants·667-1·m-2 yield was the highest.The effect of different density on the maturity and fruit quality of cherry tomato was not significant.The high-yield model of cherry tomato cultivated in facility substrate pillow was 3 880 plants·667-1·m-2 with double branch pruning.
