Production of High-Quality Tomato Seedlings in the Open Field Nurseries

Abstract

The aim of the study is to produce tomatoes seedlings with good characteristics for summer and fall seedlings seasons in field nurseries by investigating three plant distances (10, 15, 20 cm), inaddition to scatteringand two levels of seed rate (100 and 150% of the recommended rates).The experiment was carried out using completely random plots using split plot designs in three replications, and the levels of each factor were randomly distributed within the plots withcultivation of two seedbeds. Planting tomato seedlings at a 20 cm distance can improve tomato seedlings' growth in open field nurseries. Finally, more researches are needed to determine the optimal seed rates as well as planting distances in open field nurseries production under Al-Jabal Al-Khader conditions.
