| In this study, the cherry tomato cultivar ‘Fenmei No. 2’ was used as the experimental material, and ten commercially available fruit-preserving agents were applied to evaluate their effects on the safe production of cherry tomatoes during the overwintering stubble period. The results showed that different fruit-preserving agents had significant effects on the growth, yield, and fruit quality of cherry tomatoes.Reasonable application of these agents improved the fruit set rate and yield, optimized the fruit shape index, reduced fruit acidity, and significantly increased vitamin C and lycopene content. Based on a comprehensive evaluation, Beiduo Powder X6 and Zuoguo 100 are recommended for cherry tomato production during the winter stubble period due to their superior overall performance. Furthermore, this study confirmed the positive role of fruit-preserving agents in enhancing the safe winter production of cherry tomatoes, providing a scientific basis for promoting green agriculture. |
