  • Effects of integrated and organic pest management with copper and copper-free preparations on tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill.) fruit yield, disease incidence and quality
    Kristl, Janja ...
    The present study investigates the effect of exclusion of copper preparations from spray programs for disease control in integrated and organic tomato production systems on disease incidence, yield ... and fruit vitamin C, alfa-tocopherol and carotenoids content for Monroe, Optima and Paki cultivars. Open field trials were conducted in a randomized block system with four repetitions over two years. Treatment for plant disease control comprised four spraying programs, two within each production system. Yields were significantly affected by cultivar, pest management system and their interaction. Copper-free integrated and organic spraying programs were almost as effective in disease control as standard treatments which included copper preparations. The spraying program significantly affected the contents of vitamin C, alfa-tocopherol, phytoene, and beta-carotene in fruits; however, the effect was cultivar related. The lycopene contents appeared to be unaffected by the spraying program or growing system.
