Abstract: In order to investigate the effect of foliage spraying exogenous materials on the apparent properties and quality of tomato fruits, the experiment of tomato cultivation in solar greenhouse was conducted using KCl, MnSO4, abscisic acid (ABA) and the above 3 kinds of mixture solution as the foliage spraying exogenous materials. The yield, size and the content of lycopene, soluble sugar, vitamin C and organic acid in tomato fruits were detected after the experiment. The results showed that the exogenous materials spraying could dramatically approve the quality and size of tomato fruits, especially the content of soluble solids. However, the mixture of KCl, MnSO4 and ABA addition could be significantly improved the soluble solids content in tomato fruits with increment of 32.09%. In addition, different exogenous materials had no significant influence on fruit height, yield per plant, lycopene, vitamin C and organic acid, but it significantly influenced the fruit diameter, fruit weight and soluble sugar of tomato fruits, respectively.
