Abstract:
      To fit the diverse needs of production and consumption in local area, the new to mato cultivars Baili, Gray, Xueli, Mansila, Meijieluo 2, Kangxian Jingmei, Dongf en 3 and Fenbao were introduced home and abroad, grown in plastic tunnel in spri ng season at State Yangling Agricultural Hi Tech Industry Demonstration Zone, a nd evaluated by agronomic traits and econo mic traits, taking Qiangxuan 4 as the control, to screen suitable cultivars. The results showed tha t compared to the control cultivar, the plant of all introduced cultivars grew higher but late blight dise ase was popular; The grey mold disease was popular or serious in cultivars Kangxian Jingmei, Mansila and Gray. There was no significant difference in early yield between cultivars Meijieluo 2, Dongfen 3, Kangxian Jin gmei, Xueli, and the control. The total yield of cultivars Baili and Dongfen 3 was higher than the co ntrol, and was no significant difference between the cultivars Meijieluo 2, Fenbao, Gray, Xueli, Kangxian Jing mei, and the control. The comprehensive commercial quality and the nutritive quality were better in cultiv ars Meijieluo 2, Dongfen 3, Kangxian Jingmei, Fenbao, Baili, Mansila and Xueli. It is thought that cultivars Meijieluo 2, Dongfen 3, Fenbao and Kangxian Jingmei can be recommended, with priority to Meijieluo 2 and Dongfen 3, as the large sized pink color fruit type to grow and demonstrate in spring season at Ya ngling area under plastic tunnel, cultivar Baili can be grow as a medium sized red color fruit type to dem onstrate and cultivar Mansila can be grow as a cluster tomato.
