Growth, flowering and fruit-set of the tomato at high temperature.

Abstract

Fireball, Hot Set and Porter were compared at 35 degrees C. day and 25 degrees C. night temperatures and at 22 degrees C. day and 18 degrees C. night temperatures. In the high-temperature conditions, Porter gave the highest yield of fruit. At the lower, more normal temperature for tomato growing, Fireball had the highest fruit yield and Porter the lowest.
