Table 1.

Plant total dry mass and fraction of dry mass partitioned to leaves, stems and fruits of three tomato cultivars in response to fruit pruning treatment (data are collected at the end of the experiment, n = 6).

Treatment	Total dry weight (g plant^-1)	Dry mass partitioning (%)
		Leaves	Stems	Fruits
‘Komeet’
Standard fruit load	271.5 (±11)^a	37.9 (±1.4)^a	16.3 (±0.4)^a	45.8 (±1.6)^b
Half fruit load	275.1 (±10)^a	42.3 (±0.7)^b	20.2 (±0.5)^b	37.5 (±1.0)^a
‘Capricia’
Standard fruit load	278.2 (±5)^a	36.3 (±1.0)^a	17.3 (±0.6)^a	46.4 (±1.4)^b
Half fruit load	277.0 (±16)^a	41.0 (±0.9)^b	19.5 (±0.5)^b	39.5 (±0.7)^a
‘Sunstream’
Standard fruit load	317.3 (±10)^b	45.2 (±0.5)^a	20.1 (±0.4)^a	34.7 (±0.8)^b
Half fruit load	316.4 (±17)^b	52.7 (±0.3)^b	25.1 (±0.5)^b	22.2 (±0.6)^a

Means followed by different letters within one column of each cultivar differ significantly as established by the least significant difference (l.s.d) test at P = 0.05.
