Abstract | A field experiment was conducted at the Research Site of Varamin Agricultural Research Center, Varamin, Iran on the sandy loam soils to study the response of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) to different tillage methods during 2007 and 2008 growing seasons. Tillage treatments in the study included were conventional tillage (CT; moldboard plowing + two passes of disk harrowing), minimum tillage (MT; one pass of disk harrowing) and no-tillage (NT). Yield, yield components (plant population density, PPD; number of fruits per plant, NFPP; fruit weight, FW; fruit length, FL; fruit diameter, FD) and fruit quality parameter (total soluble solids, TSS) were determined for all treatments. Results indicated that tillage methods |
