REYES-CABRERA, Antonio et al. Yield and quality of hybrid tomato grafted and cultivated under shade mesh and greenhouse. Ecosistemas y recur. agropecuarios [online]. 2018, vol.5, n.13, pp.89-95. ISSN 2007-901X.  https://doi.org/10.19136/era.a5n13.1050.

The objective was to determine the yield, fruit quality and root development of four grafted tomato hybrids grown under anti-aphid mesh cover and greenhouse. The grafted hybrids were grown under shade mesh and greenhouse from april to november 2014. Variables evaluated were: fruit weight per plant, number of clusters per plant, number of fruits per plant, polar and equatorial fruit diameter, vitamin C and lycopene contents, and root fresh and dry weight. Hybrids grafted and cultivated under anti-aphid mesh had higher quality than the production obtained under greenhouse. However, lycopene and vitamin C contents and accumulated root system dry matter are greater under greenhouse.
