Tab. 5: Proportion of marketable and unmarketable yield

harvested fruits and the number of open flowers / fruits that was registered at weekly measurements. This number was about 50-60 flowers / fruits for both varieties.

4.3.3 Outer quality of yield

Marketable yield was about 90 % (Tab. 5). Sonata had a higher amount of marketable fruits than Magnum. There seem to be no difference between light sources in the proportion of marketable and unmarketable yield. Sonata seem to have a significantly respectively a tendentially higher proportion of too little fruits. In contrast, significantly more misshaped fruits were counted for Magnum.
