Variations in Fleshiness of Tomato Fruits as Affected by Fertilization.

چکیده
The evaluation of quality in agricultural products affords many research problems. Primarily, there is the difficulty of defining quality factors and the worker does well to confine his efforts to those correlated with very concrete morphological or chemical differences which are easily measureable. The variations in quality which are noted by consumers may be caused by conditions existing during transportation or storage, or, they may have arisen from the cultural methods used by the producer. The variations in degrees of quality from production methods are not capable of extreme variation owing to the limits imposed by factors of heredity. With vegetables, however, some variations have been noted to occur from soil moisture and nutrient fluctuations. A critical study of the response of certain market garden crops to fertilizer elements is being made on the experimental plats of the Rhode Island Agricultural Experiment Station. This study affords an excellent opportunity for research on the effect of the different elements on quality factors. During the. summer of 1935, an attempt was made to determine whether a correlation might be found between the fertilizer ratios used and the amount of flesh found in the fruit of tomatoes growing on these plats.
