Summary
Tomatoes were grown in solution at 2, 4, 8 and 16 me/l of potassium to study the effects of K concentration on growth, yield and quality in semiforcing culture. Marketable and total yields were the highest in K:8 me/l, and were followed by K:4 me/l. In K:16 me/l, number of fruit harvested and early yield were the highest but average fruit weight was the lowest causing the minimum yield among the treatments. The number of blossom-end rot fruits increased in high K concentration but the number of misshapen fruits decreased according to increasing of K concentration. [AS]
