Cultivation Systems, Light Intensity, and Their Influence on Yield and Fruit Quality Parameters of Tomatoes

The yield and fruit quality parameters of tomatoes are influenced by environmental conditions, and cultivation systems play an important role in improving quality, apart from breeding. We examined five breeding lines and one cultivar in five cultivation systems for yield and fruit quality parameters. The cultivation systems include a single-glazed greenhouse with and without supplementary LED interlighting; a double-glazed greenhouse with and without supplementary LED interlighting; and an organic cultivation system on the field with a rainout shelter. Plants and fruits grown in the double glazing system showed significantly lower values for plant height, yield, DM, TSS, fructose, glucose, antioxidant capacity (DPPH, TEAC), TPC, calcium, phosphorus, and manganese content than in the single-glazed greenhouse, which can be explained by the lower light transmittance. However, it could be seen that the additional LED interlighting could lower the negative effect on yield and quality traits due to double glazing.
