It was conducted in the Experimental Farms of the Institute of Horticulture at Szent István University, Gödöllo, Hungary. ‘Brixsol’ F1 (normal average fruit weight) and ‘Strombolino’ F1 (cherry type) varieties were used. Climatic conditions were significantly different in the two seasons. Increasing the water supply increased fruit yield but reduced antioxidants of individual fruits, by inducing more and larger fruits, and by its dilution effects. We have measured significantly higher carotenoids and polyphenols content by<br />processing cherry type hybrid ‘Strombolino’ F1. In general, we can state that irrigation decreased (most cases significantly) carotenoids, polyphenol and tocopherol concentrations in tomato fruits. ER -
