Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigates the characteristics, yield, physical and chemical quality of three cherry tomato cultivars: Tabtimdaeng (T1), Golden King 1761 (T2), and Luang-Pangda (T3). The experiment comprised two trials. The first trial employed a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three treatments and three replications to evaluate plant height, number of branches and nodes per plant 60 days after planting. The results showed no significant differences in plant height and number of branches among the cultivars. However, there were significant differences in nodes per plant, with Luang-Pangda yielding the highest at 4,559.88 kilograms per rai. The second trial assessed physical and chemical quality using a 3x6 Factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three replications. It investigated the three cultivars across six ripeness. There were significant differences in firmness, titratable acidity, soluble solids content, and vitamin C content among the cultivars. Moreover, it was found that firmness, titratable acidity, soluble solids content, the ratio of soluble solids to titratable acidity, and vitamin C content were significantly different.
