| Abstract |
This study was conducted to find out the performance of silicon foliar spray treatment on storability of truss tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. Campari and Temptation) in MA (20,000 cc/m2 · day· atm O2 permeability film) storage. Tomatoes were grown by hydroponics at Gangwon province in Korea during the winter, harvested at light red maturity stage and packaged with MA condition for stored at 8℃ and to investigate the storability. The silicon sprayed as a whole plant that displayed the utmost visual quality had the oxygen 5.94-12.28%, carbon dioxide 6.72-7.94% and ethylene concentration around 0.43-1.67 μL/L of ‘Campari’ and the oxygen 3.82-10.84%, carbon dioxide 7.40-10.20% and ethylene concentration around 0.69-1.75 μL/L of ‘Temptation’. The range of fresh weight loss of ‘Campari’ was less than 0.22% and ‘Temptation’ was less than 0.20% during the storage period at 8℃. The higher visual quality maintained by silicon sprayed as a whole plant than other treatments of both cultivars on the MA storage period at 8℃. The silicon sprayed as a whole plant had a positive effect to reduce the fungal incidence of both cultivars during the MA storage period at 8℃. Moreover, the silicon sprayed as a whole plant showed more prominent firmness than other treatments for storage days of both cultivars. Therefore, the silicon foliar sprays as whole plant has the positive effect to advance storability, reduced fungal incidence, maintained vitamin C, soluble solids and retain firmness.
