Axial and lateral diameter, and hardness measured on the first 8 ripe fruits harvested from the first trusses of 3 potted single tomato plants for 6 post-infiltration aeration treatments (i.e. none or 2.5 liter aeration applied during 5 different periods).
<p><i>Notes</i>: Irrigation and interaction effects were not significant (p>0.05) in ANOVA. Aeration treatment means across irrigation levels (n = 16) not followed by the same letter are significantly different at the 5% level.</p><p>Pots were subsurface drip-irrigated at 2-day intervals to maintain the soil at 60 to 70% or 70 to 80% of volumetric field capacity (denoted as low and high irrigation level).</p
