This study was conducted in order to investigate the effects of different iron applications on the yield and fruit quality traits of industrial tomatoes. Experiments were conducted in a randomized block design with three replications under field conditions. The H-5803 and Delfo hybrid industrial tomato cultivars were used as the plant material and experimental treatments included 0 (control), 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 kg ha-1 FeEDDHA (6% Fe) applications. The greatest increases in plant growth parameters (fruit length and width), marketable and paste yields were achieved with 2.0 and 3.0 kg ha-1 FeEDDHA. Iron treatments had significant effects on fruit weight, width, and lengths, and the greatest values were obtained from 2.0 and 3.0 kg ha-1. Increasing iron treatments also increased fruit quality traits (dry matter, soluble solids, total acidity). A significant relationship, however, was not observed between iron treatments and fruit pH values. In terms of plant nutrition, fertilizer cost, and yield increases, 2.0 kg ha-1 FeEDDHA treatment could be recommended as a useful fertilization strategy in tomato cultivation.
