| dc.description.abstract | This research project examines the impact of fruit cluster pruning on three cultivars of tomato grown organically within a high tunnel. Each plant was trained to have a single leader. Two cluster pruning treatments and a control were used to study the effects on limiting fruits per cluster on yield, marketability, and quality. The experiment was replicated twice, in 2016 and 2017, at Colorado State University’s certified organic farmland located at ARDEC South. First-year data suggests that cultivar selection, rather than cluster pruning treatments, is a more important factor when considering total and marketable fruit yield and indicators of quality. | en_US |
