摘要:小果番茄(Solanum lycopersicum)具有糖度高、口感佳、食用方便等特性而受到消費者喜愛,且被視為一種高品質的水果來食用。臺灣具有多種小果番茄,其中又以農友種苗公司育成之玉女番茄最受消費者歡迎。溫室小果番茄的生產可避免颱風、豪雨等天然災害危害而達穩定生產之目的,已廣被農民接受。但溫室生產成本高,故目標應放在追求高品質高售價之果實。高品質溫室小果番茄的生產除受本身品種特性影響,與農民栽培管理技術如水養分之調控,以及溫室內微環境如光照、溫度、濕度等有密切關連。因此本子計畫擬藉由固態肥結合滴灌系統或肥液滴灌系統調控溫室玉女小果番茄之水養分供給,探討水養分變化對介質理化性狀、植株生理表現與最終果實品質優劣之影響。並結合其他子計畫,使栽培管理技術與溫室內微氣候環境因子數據化與最佳化,以建立穩定高品質小果番茄生產系統。未來希望幫助新手農民更快踏入該產業或是經驗豐富的農民更上一層樓,或可供更智慧化系統(如自動化)之開發。
Abstract: Cherry tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), which has the properties of, e.g., high brix, good taste and edible convenience, is enjoyed and considered by consumers as a high-quality fruit. In Taiwan, there are a variety of cherry tomatoes, among which ‘Yu-Nu’ cherry tomato bred by KNOWN-YOU SEED CO., LTD. is most popular for consumers. Greenhouse cherry tomato production, which can protect cherry tomato from typhoons, heavy rains and other natural disasters and bring stable production, has been widely accepted by farmers. However, greenhouse production is expensive. Therefore, there is a goal to render the fruits produced in greenhouses to be of higher quality for better price. The production of high-quality greenhouse cherry tomatoes is determined by not only the variety of the cherry tomato, but also the cultivation and management skills in, e.g., controlling the supply of water and nutrients, and the micro-environments in the greenhouse in terms of light, temperature, humidity and the like. Therefore, this sub-project is intended to control the supply of water and nutrients to ‘Yu-Nu’ cherry tomato in a greenhouse by using a solid fertilizer in combination with a drip irrigation system or by using a trickle fertigation system, and thus explore the effects of the supply on the physical and chemical properties of the medium, the physiological performance of the plant and the quality of the final fruit. Along with other sub-projects, the cultivation and management skills as well as the greenhouse microclimate environmental factors can be quantified and optimized for establishing a stable production system for high-quality cherry tomato fruit. In the future, it is hoped to help new farmers be familiar with the relevant industry faster, or to improve experienced farmers’ skills, or to develop more intelligent systems (such as automated systems).
