Summary
In this study, for first time, the efficiency of the yield and fruit quality of the pink tomato cultivar ‘Tomimaru Muchoo’ was studied in hydroponic cultivation with top and interlighting with LEDs (light-emitting diodes) and diffusion glass (DGlass) to cover the glasshouse roof (LED+LED+DGlass). DGlass was also tested in tomato cultivation with only top lighting by sodium lamps (HPS+DGlass). The control, which had no DGlass (HPS, high-pressure sodium), was a crop with sodium lamps from above, where the roof was covered with conventional glasshouse glass. Selected parameters of tomato plant growth and development, photosynthetic activity, and chemical composition were analysed. Tomato fruits were evaluated for their physical and chemical characteristics as well as sensory quality. LED+LED+
