Abstract：To clarify the promotional value of the long-term cultivation mode for cherry tomato production in Taizhou,this study selected two cherry tomato varieties,Qingxia 66 and Zixiaoke No.1,and set up four treatments,namely T1(long-term cultivation Qingxia 66),T2(long-term cultivation Zixiaoke No.1),T3(traditional two-crop cultivation Qingxia 66),and T4(traditional two-crop cultivation Zixiaoke No.1).The effects of different cultivation models on the yield,quality,and final economic benefits of cherry tomato were systematically compared.The results showed that,in terms of total marketable fruit yield and final economic benefits,the long-term cultivation model significantly outper-formed the traditional cultivation model,and Zixiaoke No.1 exhibited significantly higher total marketable fruit yield and economic benefits than Qingxia 66.Regarding average fruit mass,the traditional cultivation model significantly exceeded the long-term cultivation model in most harvest batches,while Qingxia 66 outperformed Zixiaoke No.1 in most batches.In terms of fruit soluble solids content,under the same variety,the traditional cultivation model's first cut-ting was significantly higher than the long-term cultivation modle in the late harvest period,whereas the second cutting was significantly lower thant the long-term cultivation model in the early harvest period.Between varieties,Qingxia 66 exhibited significantly higher soluble solids content than Zixiaoke No.1 in most batches.Overall,long-term cultivation model demonstrates certain promotional potential for cherry tomato production in Taizhou.However,both tested variet-ies showed poor adaptability to the protected environment during winter and spring.It is recommended that growerse exer-cise caution when selecting Qingxia 66 and Zixiaoke No.1 for overwintering protected cultivation.
