Important Cultural Practices
- Tomato is one of the most widely grown vegetables in the world. The popularity of tomatoes among consumers has made them an important source of vitamins A and C in diets.
- Climate and soil requirements. Tomatoes grow best in temperatures 20–27°C. Fruit setting is poor when average temperatures exceed 30°C or fall below 10°C. Tomatoes prefer well-drained soil because they are sensitive to waterlogging. The optimum soil pH is 6.0–7.0.
- Tomatoes benefit from crop rotation. Growing tomato after paddy rice, for example, reduces the incidence of disease and nematodes. Avoid planting the tomato seeds in a field planted the previous season with tomato, pepper, eggplant, or another solanaceous crop. These crops share some insect and disease problems.
Harvesting and Storage
Tomatoes are ready to harvest when they are a uniform colour. Harvest before any spits in the flesh appears. Although still edible, a split fruit is considered overripe. Store tomatoes in a cool, dark place. They won’t last for more than a few days, and any fruit with an open wound should be eaten immediately.
