It was hypothesized that cultivar mixtures may increase yields over a monoculture if disease pressure or nitrogen (N) availability is affected by the previous cover crop. The monoculture (1-cv) of the grower\u2019s preferred cultivar was compared with mixtures of it and other high-yielding cultivars in the region. Soil nitrogen, soil microbial biomass carbon (MBC), soil emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrous oxide (N2O), crop nutrient uptake, biomass, fruit quality, intercepted photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), and disease symptoms were measured. The MCC reduced soil N leaching potential during winter and immobilized soil N early in the tomato season as suggested by higher soil MBC and CO2 emissions. Tomatoes had higher PAR, aboveground biomass, fruit yields, and harvest index in the winter fallow than in the winter MCC, likely due to higher N availability in the fallow plots after transplanting. All cultivar mixtures had fairly similar yield and shoot biomass within fallow and MCC, probably explained by the low genetic diversity among California modern tomato cultivars. However, at mid-season (75\u00a0days after planting (DAP)), the 3-cv mixture had higher shoot and fruit biomass, by 46% and 63%, than the monoculture in the MCC, indicating some plasticity under lower N availability. In the fallow treatment, soil CO2 emissions were lower in the 3-cv mixture than the monoculture at 77 and 100 DAP. Tomatoes in the 3-cv mixture were redder than the monoculture. The 3-cv mixture thus had some minor advantages compared with the monoculture, but overall, there was little evidence of higher ecosystem functions from mixtures vs. monoculture. Further research on mixtures of processing tomatoes may only be warranted for conditions of higher environmental stress than occur in California organic farms or if specific genotypic traits become available such as for disease resistance or improved nutrient uptake.", "keywords": ["Life Sciences", " general", "0106 biological sciences", "2.

The aim of this experiment was to screen a large tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) collection cultivated under well-watered and water deficit conditions, in order to identify those genotypes with the best performance under water shortage. Thus, 165 tomato genotypes including different cultivars (landraces and modern genotypes) and fruit types (processing, big size, long shelf-life and cherry) were grown in open field under two different cultivation regimes: well-watered (WW, covering 100% crop evapotranspiration demands) and water deficit (WD, irrigation stopped one month after field transplantation). Several leaf-level traits, yield and fruit quality were measured. Large variability was found under WW, with 20-fold variations in yield among genotypes. No differences in yield or fruit quality traits were found between modern genotypes and landraces, while differences in these parameters were observed based on the fruit type. Water deficit affected the observed variability, with a general decrease of yield and increases of fruit quality. Cluster analysis based on fruit traits placed several landraces in the same cluster that the most productive modern genotypes, irrespective of the water treatment. Variable responses to WD were observed, depending on the fruit or cultivar type. Carbon isotope composition was positively correlated with leaf nitrogen content, and determined the yield limit under both treatments. The results of this study highlight the potential of landraces for minimizing yield reduction under WD and increasing fruit quality, having similar or even better performance as compared to modern improved genotypes.", "keywords": ["2.

There is a wide interest in predicting the firmness with non-destructive sensing techniques such as spectral analyses. However, often used reference techniques, such as acoustic firmness (AF), limited compression (LC) and Magness-Tyler (MT), respond differently to dehydration and ripening. This study aims to detangle how the firmness of \u2018Conference\u2019 pears relates to dehydration and ripening and to model ripening-related firmness using non-destructive sensing. Hereto, a pear fruit matrix was created with varying firmness and dehydration levels. To model fruit firmness (LC and MT) with Vis-NIR spectroscopy and explore whether AF information could complement Vis-NIR spectroscopy, a sequential multi-block analysis was performed. Single block Vis-NIR spectral data were made multi-block by partitioning the variance in spectral data into acoustic-dependent and -independent parts. A variation partitioning based approach was also presented to select the best pre-processing operation for Vis-NIR spectral data modelling. Multi-block regression to predict firmness and classification modelling of pear fruit in different firmness classes was also practised. The obtained results led to enhanced insights into the different fruit firmness measures and the capability of Vis-NIR and acoustic for non-destructive fruit firmness prediction.
