Table 20. Vitamin C concentration (mg/kg) and Calcium concentration (mg/kg) in<br />

tomato fruit obtained in two different growing environments (rough values estimated<br />

from a graph) (after Premuzic et al, 1998)<br />

Growing environment Vitamin C concentration Calcium concentration<br />

Effect of combined Nitrogen-Phosphorus-Potassium...<br />

In several papers it has been reported that fruit vitamin C content could increase with<br />

the supply of combined fertilizers. Sharma and Mann (1971) obtained about 10% significant<br />

increase in ascorbic acid content of tomato juice, from about 20 to 22 or from about 21 to 23<br />

mg/100 ml juice according to the season (not significant in tomato fruit) for N fertilization<br />

increase (50 to 150 kg/ha) combined with phosphorus or P2O5 fertilization increase (30 to 90<br />

kg/ha) combined with nitrogen respectively in open field (Table 21). However, when the<br />

ascorbic acid content was expressed in relation to total soluble solids, P effect seemed to<br />

result in an increase but N effect did not.
