Relationships between degree days, estimated cumulative intercepted radiation, and fruit yield accounted for much of the variation in fruit yields for these different seasons and locations throughout Florida. 展开 DOI: 10.2134/agronj2000.921152x 被引量: 143 ...
During the spring tomato growing season in north Florida and south Georgia, the primary threat to yields is Frankliniella occidentalis, or western flower thrips. Thrips feed on flower tissue, pollen, and developing fruit and transmit tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), which may infect plants at a...
extending your growing season. This is particularly helpful in regions with shorter growing seasons or where the weather can be unpredictable. Or in our own case in South Carolina, early planting gives us the benefit of bragging rights over Dear Hubby’s brothers. Growing medium. When you start...
While Florida and California accounted for 76 percent of U.S. production of field-grown tomatoes in 2016, greenhouse production and use of other protected-culture technologies help extend the growing season and make production feasible in a wider variety of geographic locations. Some greenhouse produc...
After 8 weeks, remove the plastic, till the bed, and plant. It's best to avoid tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants in that bed for the remainder of the season. Top of Page | Growing Tomatoes | Fusarium Wilt Verticilium Wilt | Early Blight | Late Blight Septoria Leaf Spot | Root-...
It is estimated that in the 1990–91 growing season of winter tomatoes, losses from TMoV for southwestern Florida exceeded $125 million. Tomato mottle virus is a bipartite geminivirus. TMoV is transmitted by whiteflies in the persistent manner. When inoculated artificially via whiteflies, TMoV can ...

That’s because it eventually forms a flower cluster at the terminal growing point, which causes it to stop growing in height. An indeterminate tomato plant produces fruit throughout the season, often until frost. It never sets terminal flower clusters, but only lateral ones, and continues ...
So they have to be grown locally and picked in season. To meet the ever-increasing demand, farmers all over the West are planting a huge diversity of seeds for local markets. The most successful have found the right growing spots and the varieties that thrive there, and have honed their ...
It was first identified from tomato in Florida in 1989 (Wisler, Li, Liu, Lowry, & Duffus, 1998). It is transmitted in a semipersistent manner by three whitefly (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) species (Bemisia tabaci, Trialeurodes vaporariorum, and Trialeurodes abutilonea), and is emerging as a ...
