Abstract
A large fruited (90 grams) and a small fruited (30 grams) tomato cultivar produced 0.96 and 0.51 kg/plant more grade 1 fruit, respectively, when trellised vines were protected by 1.75 m high x 0.8 m wide plastic covered rainshelters during the hot, rainy summer season in Taiwan. Air temperatures under the rainshelters were similar to ambient temperatures when the sapcing between shelters was 0.7 m and the wind speed was 11 km/hr. [AS]
