Abstract
The experiment was conducted to determine effects of potassium fertilization on yield, quality and physiological characters of tomato cultivated in open field. The result showed that early yield and total yield of potassium fertilization plots reached 56 512kg/hm2 and 100 920kg/hm2 respectively,10.8% and 14.9% higher than that of the control. The potassium fertilization improved quality of fruits. Apart from decreasing calcium content, it increased total sugar, carbohydrate, soluble solid contents, crude fiber, crude protein, vitamin C, iron, ash and dry matter markedly on fresh basis. It promoted physiological metabolisms, including plant bleeding sap along with chlorophyll content, photosynthesis, being more significant especially at and after harvest peak stages and setting fruit stage of first inflorescence. The potassium fertilization decreased soluble sugar contents of the outer leaves.
