| In order to choose main factors of soil nutrient affecting cherry tomato fruit quality, the soil nutrient content
and total soluble solids (TSS) content of cherry tomato in different regions of Lingshui county in Hainan province was
determined, with Millennium cherry tomato as material. The results showed that the TSS content in mature cherry tomato
fruit was extremely significant positive to available potassium and exchangeable calcium content in soil, with correlation
coefficients of 0.587** and 0.514**, respectively. The TSS content was significant positive to zinc content, with a
correlation coefficient of 0.324*. And the TSS content showed extremely significant negative to copper content with
correlation coefficient of-0.613** and significant negative to sulfur content with a correlation coefficient reaching-0.332*.
In certain range of contents, the quality of cherry tomato fruit in Lingshui county could be improved through increasing the
content of available potassium, exchangeable calcium and zinc in soil, as well as control copper and sulfur content. |
