Abstract
The effect of potassium fertilization on blotchy ripening in processing tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) was investigated. Potassium treatments up to 624 and 590 kg ha−1 in 1983 and 1984 decreased the incidence of blotchy fruit. Differences in blotch susceptibility occurred among commercial cultivars. Potassium fertilization and cultivar are factors influencing pericarp color in processing tomatoes.Key words: Tomato, blotchy ripening, potassium
