Performance of Fifty-Eight Tomato Varieties Under Greenhouse Culture in Alaska, 1949-1958

Abstract

Tomato variety evaluations herein reported were undertaken to discover those most suitable for greenhouse culture in Alaska. Findings are presented in table 1. They are listed as total yields, and yields of U.S.No.l grade fruits per plant. Because the individual plant yields are greatly influenced by spacing, yields per square foot of greenhouse area are also reported. Yields per square foot can be compared with results of similar tests made elsewhere. They provide a standard by which potential growers may predict yields that might be grown in their own greenhouses.
