Abstract
This research aimed to study the productivity and nutritive value of commercial cherry tomatoes during the rainy season between May and September 2023. It was conducted in the area of Rajamangala University of Technology Lanna–Nan. Moreover, the research studied the appropriate commercial cherry tomatoes in quantitative and qualitative production for cultivation in Nan province and northern Thailand. Using the randomized complete block three times. They included six F1 hybrid varieties of cherry tomatoes: the Solarino, the Kingfisher, the Farvio, the Holland orange, and the Sunserie The Solarino is the most popular type of cherry tomato that farmers grow as one of the comparative (controlled) types under the conditions of a plastic mesh farm. The research found that all six types of cherry tomatoes yielded statistically highly significant differences (P < 0.01). The Kingfisher and the Solarino yielded the highest, yielding 4,327.50 and 4,092.30 kilograms per rai (1,600 square meters). The analysis of nutritive value shows that the Kingfisher has high lycopene and beta-carotene levels and differs statistically from other types. It contains 234±0.08 mg of lycopene per 100 g of fresh weight and 9.35±0.80 mg of beta-carotene per 100 g of fresh weight. According to this study, the Kingfisher and Solarino types are appropriate for this season. The research results can be used to improve production efficiency and advance the selection of potential varieties that farmers can cultivate. The outcomes can also serve as a foundation for research comparing this season to others in order to create cherry tomatoes varieties with higher beta-carotene and lycopene content.
