This article presents data on the effects of spacing and fruit truss limitation on tomato plant growth, yield and fruit quality. Plants with two, three, and four fruit trusses (T1-T3) were grown in four different spaces (S1-S4) to create 12 treatments. The experiment was conducted on an open field with a randomized complete block design and three replications. Data on fruit quantity, weight, and yield were collected to assess the effects of plant density and fruit truss limitation on tomato fruit produced and marketable fruit produced. This data could help develop a strategy for breeding new tomato cultivars for high density planting on the rice-based rotational crop systems in the Red River Delta of Vietnam and other similar sub-tropical regions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
