Abstract

The study on effect of stem pruning and inflorescence thinning on the quantity and quality of tomato hybrid seeds (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) was carried out in production site at Kaneko seeds (Thailand) company, Lumphun province from November 2020 to February 2021. The objective of this study was fine out the suitable relation between stem pruning and inflorescence thinning for F1-hybrid of tomato seed KST-805 variety. The experiment was carried out in 4x4 factorial in RCBD with 2 factor and 4 replications. Stem pruning is divided into 4 level including No pruning, 1 stem, 2 stem and 3 stem and inflorescence thinning is divided 4 level including 2 truss, 3 truss, 4 truss, and 5 truss per stem. The result showed that interaction between 3 stem pruning with 5 cluster per stem gave the highest dry weigh seed per plant is 3.24 g. For the quality of tomato seeds the result showed that 1 stem, 2 stem and 3 stem pruning gave the high of germination is 92.75, 92.25 and 90.75 percentage respectively.
