Abstract
Variation in the vitaminβC content of different tomatoes has been found much wider than can be explained by previously investigated factors, such as organic manuring, fertilizer treatment, weight of fruit, polyploidy or varietal differences. Experiments on five varieties given different fertilizer treatment during outdoor cultivation at Maidstone in 1946 showed certain effects, especially with calcium, but the main conclusion reached was the importance of climatic factors.
