The preliminary study was carried out in Hortinvest greenhouses on two varieties of cherry tomatoes, 'Flaviola’ and 'Cheramy’ F. The environmental factors in the greenhouse, temperature, atmospheric humidity, CO2 concentration inside the greenhouse during January-March were registered. Also, the obtained productions and the vegetative mass of the leaves were registered. We found that for the 'Flaviola’ variety, the temperature had a greater influence on the production compared to the 'Cheramy’ variety. We noticed that each variety reacted differently both in terms of temperature and CO2 values. The accumulated vegetative mass was higher in 'Cheramy F1’ compared to 'Flaviola’, this being a genetic characteristic of the variety. The percentage of fruits obtained per plant was 54.75% and only 45.25% of the vegetative mass in 'Cheramy F1’. For the 'Flaviola’ variety, the percentage of fruit was 60.64% and 39.36% vegetative mass. The aim of the study was to analyse the behaviour of some varieties on total production.
