The importance of industrial tomato is growing year by year, and one of the most important tasks is to satisfy the needs of the industry. To meet these needs, the producer has to find the proper genotype, which can achieve up to 100 t ha -1 crop yield. This quality has high importance to be researched. The experiment was carried out in the Botanical and Exhibition Garden of the University of Debrecen, with 3 examined genotypes. The planting date was 3 of May 2018. The harvesting was two-threaded. On 27 of July the physical parameters – fruit shape index (length/diameter), firmness (kg cm -2 ), water-soluble dry matter content (Brix%) and weight of the berries (g) – were evaluated. On 15 of August the rheological parameters were examined – the force needed to tear the skin – bioyield point (g) and flesh firmness (g). The fruit shape index was oval (between 1.19 and 1.24) for all the examined genotypes. The firmness was between 0.92 (UG1122713 F 1 ) and 1.05(Prestomech F 1 ) kg cm -2 , which compliance the needs of the industry. The water-soluble dry matter content was suitable, with a value between 4.49 (Prestomech F 1 ) and 4.65 (UG1122713 F 1 ) Brix%. The weight of the berries was between 45.94 (UG989 F 1 ) and 49.37 (Prestomech F 1 ) g per piece. The bioyield point was between 76.00 (UG1122713 F 1 ) and 85.16 (UG989 F 1 ) g. The flesh firmness was between 33.68 (UG1122713 F 1 ) and 42.81 (UG989 F 1 ) g. Finally, we can conclude based on the obtained data that the UG989 F 1 hybrid was the most proper for the applied cultivation conditions. This genotype can be recommended for the farmers even in extreme weather conditions.application/pdfindustrial tomatorheological evaluationtomato genotypesfolyóiratcikkOpen Accesshttps://doi.org/10.34101/actaagrar/2/3692Acta Agraria Debreceniensis2Acta agrar.
