NUTRITIONAL ACCUMULATION FOR SALAD AND ITALIAN TOMATOES GROWN IN A PROTECTED ENVIRONMENT

Tomato cultivation in a protected environment is an important tool for increasing yield, quality, and regularity of production. However, nutrient imbalance this production system can lead to short-and long-term losses. This study aimed characterize plant growth accumulation export two tomato hybrids the Salad (‘Stella TY’) Italian (‘HS 1188’) groups determine accumulated thermal sum.
