Abstract
The experiment was carried out between 2010 and 2012 at the Experimental Station of Siedlce University of Natural Sciences and Humanities. The field experiment was established as a split-block design with three replicates. The effect of plant covering (without cover, under polypropylene non-woven and soil mulching with different kind of straw (rye, corn, rape, buckwheat) on the changes of selected nutrient components in ‘Polfast F1’ tomato was investigated. The effect of straw was compared to a control plot without mulch. The content of dry matter, ascorbic acid, total sugars and flash acidity of tomato depended to a higher degree on weather conditions. The most favourable for accumulation of these components was warm and moderately wet 2011. The application of polypropylene non-woven at beginning of growing period of plant did not cause changes in chemical composition of fruits. The influence of straw mulch on the nutritive value of tomato was differentiated. The most of dry matter and ascorbic acid contained tomato cultivated on the rye and buckwheat straw. A higher content of total sugars and monosaccharides was found in fruits from plant cultivated on the corn and rye straw, respectively. Tomato cultivated on the mulch with buckwheat straw was characterized by higher flesh acidity of fruits.
