Machine Harvesting Seen
Possible for Pa. Tomatoes
Machine harvesting of
tomatoes can be successful in the
Keystone State as long as
tomatoes are grown specifically
for mechanized harvest, it was
announced recently during the
annual Vegetable Conference at
The Pennsylvania State
University.
Yields should be excellent and
the costs of harvest by machine
can be much less than the cost of
harvest by hand, declared Dr. R.

William Hepler, associate
professor of plant breeding at
Penn State. He said it is
estimated that 4,000 acres of
tomatoes will be planted to
machine harvest varieties in
Pennsylvania this summer.
Harvesting costs of one
machine tested by Dr. Hepler and
associates came to $11.96 per ton
compared with hand-harvested
costs of $22.93 per ton. In ex
periments during 1970 and 1971,
Atll:ooA.M
Mrs. Ruth Louch, Owner
Churchville, Md.
Lancaster Farming, Saturday, March 10,1973
machine harvesting costs
averaged $lO to $l4 per ton,
compared with $2O per ton for
hand harvesting.
Using good management,
yields of 20 tons per acre should
be expected,. Dr. Hepler reported.
The 3-year studies were the first
full-scale, farm-based Penn
sylvania experiments to harvest
tomatoes by machine.
Cooperating on the studies were
Robert F. Fletcher, Extension
specialist in vegetable crops;
Richard C. Funt, graduate
assistant in agricultural
economics; and Donald R.
Daum. Extension agricultural
engineer.
Several tomato varieties can be
used for machine harvesting, the
studies showed. Best suited for
direct seeding and transplanted
acreage were Merit, Potomac,
and Chef. Chico 111 is recom
mended for direct seeding only.
Red Rock and ARC gave best
results for transplanting only.
Under a mechanized system,
transplanting of seedling
tomatoes should be carried out in
May for August and early Sep
tember harvesting, the Penn
Staters found. Direct field
seeding should be done in late
April for harvesting by mid to
late September. A 6 to 8 week
harvest period is possible with
the combination of transplanting,
direct field seeding, and variety
ripening. Dr. Hepler pointed out
Where transplanted seedlings
are used, 8500 to 9000 plants per
acre should be adequate for
economical machine harvesting,
the experiments determined. In
fields with less than 8000 tran
splants per acre, yields were
reduced by up to 6 tons per acre.
With direct seeded tomatoes,
12,000 clumps per acre should be
adequate for economical
machine harvesting.
The research was supported in
part by the Pennsylvania Fair
Fund administered by the
Pennsylvania Department of
Agriculture.
To gain experience with the
system, Dr Hepler suggests that
growers who plan to harvest by
hand should use the techniques
developed for mechanized
harvest. This includes varieties,
planting schedules, and use of
beds in direct seeded plantings.
Where heavy soil may delay
seedling emergence in direct
seeded plantings, anti-crustants
should be helpful, it was
suggested.
