Abstract
Summary.: The period between the opening of a tomato flower and the picking of the fruit which develops from it has been termed the maturation period. Usually, the maturation periods of the different fruits produced by a tomato plant vary considerably. The maturation period lengthens as the plant ages, and as the truss lengthens. The graph of the maturation periods of the fruits produced by a tomato plant approaches a straight line as the efficiency of the plant increases.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
