    Genetic Inheritance of Fruit Quality and Yield in Organic Tomato Production
    Author(s): Priti Saxena* and James Weeks

    The goal of developing high-performing cultivars for organic production, driven by the declining performance of conventional germplasm in organic agriculture, is a crucial factor in closing the yield gap between conventional and organic farming. The on-going research at Cal Poly Pomona's Certified Organic Spadra Farm in Southern California, evaluated 72 F2 breeding lines of fresh market slicers, grape, cherry, and plum tomatoes in 2019. Ten superior lines with higher yield, and fruit quality were selected to advance into a replicated trail in 2020. We predicted a positive response to selection for the desir.. View More»
