Effect of intra-row plant spacing and Variety on tomato fruit yield. Fresh market tomato production

      Аннотация: Most resource- poor farmers use cultural practices in their tomato production systems. Thus, to produce better fruit yield and quality tomato growers in the study area should be encouraged to use intra-row spacing 30 cm x 70 cm with the determinate type of Fetane and Bishola varieties, since these perform far better than the Marglobe and unimproved local tomato varieties. However, further researches are recommended with optimization of fertilizer and water requirement for the different varieties under different intra- and inter row plant spacing and different growing conditions and type of production (home stead, farmer and commercial) to understand yield performance
