Description

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is one of the most widely cultivated crops in the world. Tomatoes contribute to a healthy, well-balanced diet. They are rich in minerals, vitamins, essential amino acids, sugars and dietary fibers. Tomato contains much vitamin B and C, iron and phosphorus. Tomato fruits are consumed fresh in salads or cooked in sauces, soup and meat or fish dishes. They can be processed into purees, juices and ketchup.Tomato is one of the most important and most spread vegetable plants in Kosovo, which has been planted in about 2000 hectares, annually. Have been five hybrids of tomatoes studied (Jaguar, Arleta, Big Beef, Amati, Marfa) in a commercial farm around the region Prizren, Kosovo, during the vegetation 2015-2016. During the vegetation period in the periodical way, the following have been measured: biometrical indicators of vegetative masses, biometric indicators of the fruit, dynamic and a total production according to the hybrids. The scheme during the process of the experiment was "randomized block" with four replications. In 2014, vegetable production was estimated at 242,490 t: 200,620 t from 14,330 ha of open fields and 12,870 t from 234 ha of greenhouses and plastic tunnels. Average yields for open fields were 14-16 t ha, and for greenhouse 55-65 t ha.
