In this experiment, five varieties of determinate type tomato, Heinz 1350, Heinz 1370, Heinz 1409, E. S. 24, E. S. 58 introduced from Heinz Co., and one determinate variety, Roma, and one indeterminate variety, Taiho, from Kagome Co. were tested.
These varieties were compared with one another on the yields of trimmed fruits for processing, and of juice or puree in 1963 and 1964.
The results obtained may be summarized as follows.
1. Roma was the highest and Taiho was the lowest, and the other varieties lay between them in yield rate of trimmed fruit for processing. In yield rate of juice, the similar result was obtained also. And Heinz 1370 was much alike to Roma.
2. Heinz 1409 was the highest and Taiho was the lowest, and the other varieties lay between them in yield of puree. But Heinz 1370 and Roma were much alike to Heinz 1409.
3. Heinz 1370 and Roma were both excellent in juice and puree yields per unit area, and Taiho and Heinz 1350 were also fairly excellent in both yields. Heinz 1409 was the lowest grade in both yields.
As mentioned above, it was recognized that, for juice and puree yields, two determinate type tomato varieties, Heine 1370 and Roma, were excellent in the varities used in this experiment.
