Abstract: The study, "Yield Performance of Weeded and Unweeded Tomato During Rainy Season" was conducted at the experimental field of the Department of Plant Science Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite from July to October 1986. The study ought to determine the yield performance of the three varieties of tomato (Bonanza, Panag—ulan and during rainy season and to know which would be adapted on weeded and unweeded treatment . Seeds of different varieties were sown in seed boxes. Three weeks after germination, seedlings were transplanted into the field divided into three blocks for replications 0 Each replication was subdivided into three subplots for the three varieties and further sub— divided into two for treatments. The effect of varieties and treatments on the height of the plant at first harvesting, on the number of marketable fruits per plant, on the weight of marketable fruits per plant, on the number of nonmarketable fruits per plant and on the yield per hectare were compared. The height of the plant, number of marketable fruits, weight of marketable fruits, number of unmarketable fruits and yield of tomato were greatly affected by the variety of tomato planted and the management employed. V (Panag—ulan) was found to be the excellent variety adapted during the rainy season more especially unweeded condition All varieties showed better performance when unweeded than when weeded. There were some hazards that had almost hindered the development of the crops . These were the att4ck of some pest and diseases such as fruit worm, leaf mold and damping off Added to these were the growth of weeds and the occurrence of heavy rains and typhoons. However, among these enemies of the crop, the weeds played an important role for it served as the protector of plants %.om pests and diseases as it acted as host and kept the plant off the ground, thus, giving a bigger chance to obtain more marketable fruits per plant.
