Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Parental line TAG 1F performed better than the other parental line across the hybrid seed production methods in tomato.
- Intervention effect Seed treatment increased the per cent survival rate of tomato by 3.26% relative to the control seed treatment.
- Intervention effect Hydroponics performed better than the conventional method in tomato hybrid seed production.
- Intervention effect Aeroponics significantly increased plant height of tomato relative to the conventional method, at 140.94 cm.
- Intervention effect Aeroponics significantly increased fruit weight of tomato relative to the conventional method, at 124.54 g.
- Intervention effect Aeroponics significantly increased total biomass of tomato relative to the conventional method, at 106.44 g.
- Intervention effect Aeroponics significantly increased test weight of tomato seed relative to the conventional method, at 0.39 g.
- Intervention effect Hydroponics significantly increased number of fruit per plant of tomato relative to the conventional method, at 45.84.
- Intervention effect Hydroponics significantly increased SVI of tomato seed relative to the conventional method, at 2821.
- Recommendation Soilless agriculture could be a promising tool for quality and year-round healthy hybrid tomato seed production under protected cultivation.
