    The objective of the present work was to evaluate the effect of nutrient solutions in fertirrigation, with different nitrogen鈥損otassium ratios, on yield and quality of tomato fruits (hybrid Hazera聽3019) in Red Ferralitic soil (Oxisol). The trial was performed at Instituto de Investigaciones Hort铆colas Liliana Dimitrova (La聽Habana, Cuba). Four nutrient solutions were studied, which were different in their NO3-+NH4+/K+ ratios in terms of meq聽L-1 (N/K), keeping a K+/Ca2++Mg2+ ratio of 0,75 in every variant. The resulting treatments (T1, 1:0.45; T2, 1:0.60 or production test control, T3, 1:0.75 and T4, 1:0.90) were distributed in a completely randomized design with four replicates. The N/K ratio variation in the nutrient solution influenced the yield, external quality and postharvest life of tomato fruits, without affecting the bromatologic quality. The best combination of yield structure and fruit quality was obtained with the 1:0.75 N/K ratio, which had superior yield in extra, first and extra plus first commercial qualities, as well as fruits with higher firmness and larger endocarp thickness, lesser abnormal fruit percentage and lower postharvest losses.El objetivo del presente trabajo fue evaluar el efecto de soluciones nutritivas en el fertirriego, con diferentes relaciones entre el nitr贸geno y el potasio, en la productividad y calidad de los frutos del tomate (h铆brido Hazera 3019), en suelo Ferral铆tico Rojo. La experiencia se desarroll贸 en el Instituto de Investigaciones Hort铆colas Liliana Dimitrova (La聽Habana, Cuba). Se聽estudiaron cuatro soluciones nutritivas, que se diferenciaron en su relaci贸n NO3-+NH4+/K+ en t茅rminos de meq聽L-1 (N/K), con una relaci贸n K+/Ca2++Mg2+ en todas las variantes de 0,75. Los tratamientos resultantes (T1, 1:0,45; T2, 1:0,60 o testigo de producci贸n, T3, 1:0,75 y T4, 1:0,90) fueron distribuidos en un dise帽o completamente aleatorizado con cuatro r茅plicas. La variaci贸n de la relaci贸n N/K en la soluci贸n nutritiva influy贸 en el rendimiento, la calidad externa y la vida en anaquel de los frutos de tomate, sin afectar la calidad bromatol贸gica. La mejor combinaci贸n entre estructura del rendimiento y calidad de los frutos se obtiene con la relaci贸n N/K 1:0,75, al presentar rendimientos superiores en las categor铆as de calidad comercial extra, primera y extra m谩s primera, as铆 como frutos con mayor firmeza y grosor del endocarpio, menor porcentaje de frutos fuera de norma y valores inferiores de p茅rdidas postcosecha.The objective of the present work was to evaluate the effect of nutrient solutions in fertirrigation, with different nitrogen鈥損otassium ratios, on yield and quality of tomato fruits (hybrid Hazera聽3019) in Red Ferralitic soil (Oxisol).

    The production of horticultural crop in protected systems implies a very intensive exploitation of the cultivation, for what is required of the continuous supervise to maximize its nutrition and yield, more even when its exploitation is carried out in soil, because the magnitude of the interactions that happen between the nutritious solution and the same soil is ignored. The study was carried out in the "Liliana Dimitrova" Horticultural Research (Mayabeque, Cuba) in a typical Red Ferralitic soil in winter and spring-summer. The hybrid commercial HAZERA 3019 was used. It was make the characterization of the solution fertilizer and soil solution, for this last one it placed inside the installation eight suction cups. It was determined the pH, the NO3-, K+, Ca++ and Mg++ concentration and the electric conductivity (EC). It was quantified the total dry mater, the absorption of N, P, K, Ca and Mg and the yield. The cultivation variables evaluated during the winter went superiors statistically to the quantified in spring-summer. The concentration of nutrients in suction cups varied in dependence of the plantation time, the cultivation phase and the element characteristics. The high NO3- and K+ mobility and the presence of superiors indicators productive and growth in winter conditioned their decrease with relationship to the solution fertilizer, while the Ca++ and Mg++ was accumulated in the soil. The concentrations of NO3-, K+, Ca++ and Mg++ in suction cups in spring-summer were respectively in a range of5.99-9.06, 3.16-7.68, 2.91-4.27 and 1.34-2.14 meq/L. In winter they varied among 6.87-11.47, 2.89-8.83, 2.81-5.60 and 1.04-2.31 meq/L. The maximum variation obtained for the CE in suction cups was of 0.50 mS/cm with relationship to the fertilizer solution.La producci贸n de hortalizas en sistemas protegidos implica una explotaci贸n muy intensiva del cultivo, por tales motivos se requiere del monitoreo continuo para maximizar su nutrici贸n y rendimiento, m谩s aun cuando su explotaci贸n se realiza en suelo, pues se desconoce la magnitud de las interacciones que ocurren entre la soluci贸n nutritiva y el suelo mismo. El estudio se realiz贸 en el Instituto de Investigaciones Hort铆colas "Liliana Dimitrova" (Mayabeque, Cuba) en un suelo ferral铆tico rojo t铆pico en invierno y primavera-verano. Se utiliz贸 el h铆brido comercial HAZERA 3019. Se realiz贸 la caracterizaci贸n de la soluci贸n fertilizante y de la soluci贸n del suelo, para esta 煤ltima se colocaron en el interior de la instalaci贸n ocho sondas de succi贸n. Se determin贸 el pH, la concentraci贸n de NO3-, K+, Ca++ y Mg++ y la conductividad el茅ctrica (CE). Se cuantific贸 la masa seca total, la absorci贸n de N, P, K, Ca y Mg y el rendimiento. Las variables de cultivo evaluadas durante el invierno fueron estad铆sticamente superiores a las cuantificadas en primavera-verano. La concentraci贸n de nutrientes en sondas de succi贸n vari贸 en dependencia de la 茅poca, la fase del cultivo y las caracter铆sticas del elemento. La alta movilidad del NO3- y del K+ y la presencia de indicadores productivos y de crecimiento superiores en invierno condicionaron su disminuci贸n con relaci贸n a la soluci贸n fertilizante, mientras que el Ca++ y el Mg++ se acumularon en el suelo. Las concentraciones de NO3- K+, Ca++ y Mg++ en sondas de succi贸n en primavera-verano estuvieron en un rango de 5,99-9,06, 3,16-7,68, 2,91-4,27 y 1,34-2,14 meq/L, respectivamente. En invierno variaron entre 6,8711,47, 2,89-8,83, 2,81-5,60 y 1,04-2,31 meq/L. La variaci贸n m谩xima obtenida para la CE en sondas de succi贸n fue de 0,50 mS/ cm con relaci贸n a la soluci贸n fertilizante
