聖女番茄(茄屬植物, 又名櫻桃小番茄)是世界上重要的蔬菜和水果，也是世界上消費量最高的蔬菜。溫室覆蓋用塑料膜進行的受控栽培正成為園藝栽培的有吸引力的選擇。覆蓋的塑料薄膜減少了農作物病害，昆蟲種群並抑制了幾種葉病，然而，它們對農作物生長，產量和果實品質的影響仍需研究。該研究的目的是評估在不同塑料薄膜上建立的番茄品種的生長，產量和果實品質。該實驗是使用三個品種的櫻桃番茄在粉紅色和紫色塑料膜下進行的，未經塑料膜處理，使用隨機完整區組設計和帶有十二個重複的分割圖。分析了塑料膜對植物形態參數，生理參數，產量和果實品質的影響。還監測了氣候參數，土壤分析和光合光子通量密度，以了解它們如何影響塑料膜的種植。最終結果表明，粉紅色和紫色塑料薄膜增加了櫻桃番茄品種的總產量，並且明顯高於對照，但是在塑料薄膜之間沒有發現顯著差異。塑料薄膜的果實重量，果實周長和長度均高於對照。在生長參數，葉綠素（SPAD）含量，果實品質（TSS）和PPFD平均值上均未見明顯差異。 儘管需要進行後續研究，但當前的研究推薦使用粉紅色和紫色塑料膜作為番茄作物免受昆蟲侵害的有效方法，且對產量沒有負面影響。

關鍵詞：番茄品種，生長，產量，果實品質和彩色塑料薄膜。

Cherry tomato (Solanum lycopersium, var. cerasiforme.) is an important vegetable and fruit in the world and it’s the world’s most highly consumed vegetable. The controlled cultivation with plastic film for greenhouse covering is becoming an attractive option for horticultural cultivation. The plastic film covering decreases crop diseases, insect population and suppresses several foliar diseases however; their impact on crop growth, yield and fruit quality still needs investigation. The objectives of the study were to assess the growth, yield, and fruit quality of tomato cultivars established at different plastic films. The experiment was conducted with three cultivars of Cherry Tomato under Pink and Purple Plastic Film and without Plastic Film treatments using randomized complete block design plus split-plot with twelve replicates. The effects of plastic films on plant morphological parameters, physiological parameters, and yield and fruit quality were analysed. Climatic parameters, soil analysis and photosynthetic photon flux density were also monitored to see how they influenced the plastic film cultivation. The final results showed that pink and purple plastic films increased the total yield production of cherry tomato cultivars and were significantly higher to control however; no significant differences were seen amongst the plastic films. Fruit weight, fruit circumference and length in plastic films were higher than control. No significant differences were seen on growth parameters, chlorophyll (SPAD) content, and fruit quality (TSS) and PPFD mean values. Although the follow-up research is required the current study recommends both pink and purple plastic films for the effective method in tomato crop protection from insect without negative effects on yield.

Keywords: Tomato cultivars, growth, yield, fruit quality and coloured plastic films.
