Tomato foliage density
Solanum lycopersicum L. var. lycopersicum
A morphobiological trait of tomato, evaluated in cultivar trials visually on a scale from weak to strong. It is a key factor in vegetative-generative balance, influencing yield, disease susceptibility, and the need for agrotechnical pruning.
In the reference 14 varieties crop Tomato, where this is mentioned in the description.
In tomato cultivar trials, foliage density is determined visually by scoring. There is no precise quantitative scale for this indicator, so the intensity of leaf apparatus development is assessed in comparison with a control cultivar as weak, moderate, or strong.
This trait directly affects the condition of the crop: weak foliage density increases the risk of fruit sunburn, while excessive density impairs aeration, promoting the development of fungal infections. The level of foliage density determines the intensity of sucker removal and plant training required to maintain the balance between vegetative mass development and fruit formation.
