番茄授粉率與種子産量受授粉時期及土壤含水量高低之影響,授粉時期以十一月(20~27℃)及十二月(15~23℃)爲最適當,授粉率可高達90%以上。果實內種子亦較多,一月(6~17℃)及二月(10~20℃)花粉少,授粉率低,種子量亦較少。土壤以7~10天灌水一次(含水量11~20%)及10~15天灌水一次(7~20%)者授粉最佳,種子量亦最多,對番茄植株之生育亦最適當,3~5天灌水一次(15~20%)者植株發育太過旺盛,開花少,授粉率與前兩處理差不多,但種子量較少,不灌水者發育不佳授粉率亦低。
The experimental results indicate that the time of pollination and soil moisture, can affect the pollination percentage and the yields of hybrid seeds of Tomato. The optimum periods for cross-pollination of Tomato are in November (20~27℃) and December (15°~23℃)°. The pollination percentage was 90% or more, and the seed number in a fruit was much higner than that of other period. Highest seed yield was obtained from the moderate irrigation. The soil water content was maintained 11.0~20.0% and 7.0~20.0% or irrigated every 7~10 days, and 10~15 days a time, in these condition it was good for plant pollination and seed yield.
