Production of high-quality tomato seedlings in the open field nurseries

الملخص EN

The aim of the study is to produce tomatoes seedlings with good characteris tics 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 ran dom 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 nurse ries.

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 condi tions.
