dc.description.abstractTomatoes are one of the most common vegetable crops grown in the Philippines and are among the crops with high post-harvest losses in the country. The study aimed to determine the effects of Gmelina arborea sawdust on delayed ripening of tomatoes. The delayed ripening treatments used were dry fine sawdust, coarse sawdust, and positive control dried (banana leaves – traditional delayed ripening method). The varieties were Jewel F1, Diamante Max F1, and Mica Red. The experimental research design used in this study was a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three (3) blocks. Analysis of variance and Tukey's Honest Significant Difference (HSD) were used to analyze data. Results of the study revealed that Gmelina arborea sawdust significantly delayed the ripening of tomatoes up to 86 days. Diamante Max F1 treated with dry fine sawdust had the highest percentage of marketable tomatoes at 86 days.
