Abstract
Tomato transplants, grown in Georgia, U.S.A., were separated into three ranges of stem diameter (< 4.0 mm, 4.0–4.8 mm and > 4.8 mm) and evaluated for yield performance in Harrow, Ontario, Canada. The marketable stem size transplants (> 4.8 mm in diameter) had higher early yields than the small (4.0–4.8 mm) or very small (< 4.0 mm) stem size transplants. The latter two types had similar early yields. Ethephon, sprayed on the transplants a few days before harvesting in Georgia, caused the marketable stem size transplants to give higher early yields than their control counterparts; this effect was absent on the small and the very small stem size transplants. Total yields were similar among all the control transplants.
