During 2016, at the Research and Development Institute for Vegetable and Flower Growing Vidra, a monofactorial experiment was organized, placed in randomized blocks, with 15 experimental variants in 3 replications. The biological material used was constitued by 12 tomato varieties ('Kristinica’, 'Darsirius’, 'Măriuca’, 'Romec’ 554J, 'Chihlimbar’, 'Viorica’, 'Vipon’, 'Pontica’ 102, 'Missouri’, 'Marmande’, 'Heintz’ and 'St. Pierre’) and 3 hybrids ('Caspar’ F1, 'Perfect Peel’ F1 and 'Mirsini’ F1). Under the climatic conditions of 2016, the fruits were attacked by pathogens: Alternaria porri f.sp. solani, Phytophthora infestans and Phytophthora parasitica. The frequency of fruits attacked by the mentioned pathogens ranged from 6.2% in the 'Mirsini’ F1 hybrid and 27.0% in the 'Heintz’ variety. The highest yield was recorded at the hybrids 'Perfect Peel’ F1 (5.87 kg/sq. m), 'Caspar’ F1 (5.85 kg/sq. m) and the varieties 'Pontica’ 102 (5.66 kg/sq. m), 'Missouri’ (5.29 kg/sq. m), 'Viorica’ (5.24 kg/sq. m).
