How long is the growing cycle of tomatoes?

Introduction to Tomato Growth

Tomatoes are grown in all parts of my country, and it is best to plant them in soil with deep soil layers and good ventilation and permeability, and it is best to plant them in places where Solanaceae vegetables have not been planted within 2-3 years.

Tomato growth cycle

Tomatoes have four stages: germination, seedling, flower bud differentiation and development, and fruiting. Their growth cycle takes about 110-170 days, and they are generally mature and harvestable in June-August.

Tomato growth rate

It usually takes 7-9 days for tomatoes to grow the first true leaf, about 50 days for large flower buds to appear, and 15-30 days for flowering and fruiting. The fruit begins to swell 3-4 days after flowering and pollination, and swells to its full maturity after 30 days.

Tomato growth cycle management

The self-capped open-air cultivation of tomatoes generally produces 3,000 catties per mu, while the greenhouse cultivation produces about 5,000 catties per mu; the unlimited growth open-air cultivation produces about 4,000 catties per mu, while the greenhouse cultivation produces about 100,000 catties per mu.

Temperature management : Tomatoes are best grown in an environment of 20-25 degrees. Temperatures below 15 degrees are not conducive to growth, and temperatures rising to 30 degrees are also not conducive to growth.

Fertilization management : Tomatoes need rich quick-acting nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other nutrients in the soil. Pay attention to topdressing during the growth period and apply fruit-enhancing fertilizer during the fruiting period.
