| Abstract | ||
| This experiment was conducted during winter season of 2004-2005 at Barjeseuia Research Station at the desert area, Basrah. The aim was to study the effect of period of seedling conditioning by using saline water (4 ds.m-1) for (0 , 4 , 8 and 12 days) before transplanting and date of sowing ( 10/9 and 10/10 ) of tomato hybrids Hatouf . Results showed that seedling conditioning for (8 days) gave a significant increase in leaf number , plant length after 60 and 120 days of sowing and number of branches per plant , number of trusses per plant after 120 days of sowing . Increased in both early and total yield at a ratio 46.6 and 34.2 % respectively , comparing with control . Seedling conditioning period had no significant effect on number of flowers abortion, average fruit weight and fruits chemical constitutions ( total soluble solid , total titratable acidity and ascorbic acid ) . The first date sowing increased significant comparing with the second sowing date in leaf number after 60 and 120 days of sowing, plant length after 60 days of sowing , number of trusses per plant, decreased in percentage of flowers abortion , increased in both early and total yield and average fruit weight at a ratio 49.7 , 14.5 , 10.5 % respectively comparing with second sowing. No significant effects on number of branches per plant and number of flowers per inflorescence . second date sowing increased significant on fruits chemical constitutions ( total soluble solid, total titratable acidity and ascorbic acid ) . | ||
