Tomato planting method steps tomato cultivation technology

Before planting tomatoes, the selected seeds should be sealed and fermented at room temperature for about 2-4 days. After washing them with clean water, they should be soaked in warm water for 3-6 hours. This can increase the survival rate of tomatoes.

Tomato Growing Conditions

1. Lighting conditions

   Tomatoes are light-loving, short-day crops, but most varieties are not strict about sunlight requirements and do not require a specific light cycle. As long as the temperature is suitable, they can be cultivated throughout the year. However , they can only grow well under 16 hours of light conditions .

2. Moisture conditions

   The aboveground stems and leaves of tomatoes are lush, and the transpiration is relatively strong. The transpiration coefficient is about 800, and it requires more water . However, the tomato root system is very developed and has a strong water absorption capacity. The water requirement is semi-drought-tolerant, and the relative humidity of the air should be 45-50% .

Tomato Planting Steps

1. Plot selection

   Tomato planting should be done in areas with deep soil, good drainage and irrigation, good ventilation and air permeability , and where no solanaceous vegetables have been planted for 2-3 years. Avoid areas without irrigation facilities for cultivation.

2. Variety selection

   When planting tomatoes, you should choose varieties that are disease-resistant, high-quality, high-yielding, resistant to storage and transportation, have good commercial properties, and are suitable for market demand , such as Jintiewang, so that they can grow better after planting.

3. Sowing and seedling raising

   Tomatoes are usually planted in early March to early April each year . Use fertilizer balls to grow seedlings in a small arch shed, mix the soil with decomposed farmyard manure and knead it into a fertilizer ball about 5 cm in diameter, put a seed in it, arrange it evenly, cover it with nutrient soil, apply diluted manure water, and cover it with plastic film.

Key points for high-yield management of tomatoes

1. Fertilization management

   If you want to achieve high yields of tomatoes, you should mainly use organic fertilizers, and combine them with nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and trace elements . Apply about 500 kg of fermented high-quality fertilizer per acre. This will have a significant effect on improving the quality and smoothness of the fruit.

2. Framework management

   After the tomatoes are planted, before each inflorescence sets fruit, the support should be inserted and the stems should be tied to the support with ropes from the top of the first fruit sequence. The binding should not be too loose or too tight . Later, tie it 2 to 3 more times depending on the growth height.
