Potassium fertilization via fertigation and conventional application on quality of tomato fruits

Abstract: The tomato crop plays an important environmental, economic and even social role, especially for creating employment and income. The present work aims to evaluate the effects of potassium (K) drip fertigation and of conventional K fertilization on the tomato crop quality. The experiment was conducted under field conditions, in the period between August 2011 and December 2011, in Fortaleza, CE, Brazil. The experimental design was in randomized blocks in a factorial arrangement and the treatments corresponded to … Show more

“…The ratio for the tomato crop has indexes within the acceptable range (palatability considered 'tasty') with values above 10, as referred by [38]. In the present study, it was possible to verify that, for all treatments, the values were higher than previously mentioned, thus demonstrating that the fruits have the potential for processing [45].…”

“…For the titratable acidity, the results found from the physico-chemical analysis are expected for the tomato culture, which is from 0.3 to 0.4 g 100 g −1 [35][36][37]. There is an inverse relationship between titratable acidity and pH, where the higher the acidity, the lower the pH [38] and vice versa. Interestingly, this behavior is observed in this work.…”

“…Rebouças Neto et al (2016) assessed the effects of potassium (K) drip fertigation and conventional K fertilization on tomato crop quality. They find that Potassium fertilization applied through fertigation (400 kg ha -1 of K 2 O) increased the content of soluble solids and the ratio between soluble solids and titratable acidity in tomato fruits.…”

“…Esse nutriente também é responsável pelo aumento na produtividade e qualidade de frutos tomates, pois está associado a processo de síntese e translocação de carboidratos nos mesmos. No ententanto, em excesso, opotássio pode interferir na absorção de cálcio e magnésio pela planta (REBOUÇAS NETO et al, 2016).…”
