How to Grow Tomato. A simple guide for backyard gardening during CoVid quarantine.

🌱 Narrow paths aid in irrigation and drainage for tomato plants.

🥦 It is recommended to apply 80 grams of NPK fertilizer and three kilograms of organic fertilizer every 2 meters along the length of the bed for tomato cultivation.

🌱 Ideal seedling population for tomato crops is twenty-six thousand six hundred plants per hectare.

🌱 When sowing tomato seeds, place one seed per hole, and ensure that they are not sown too deep.

💦 It is important to cover the soil after sowing and water the trays gently, providing good ventilation and constant moisture for the seedlings in the nursery.

🌱 Transplanting tomato seedlings should be done after 21 to 28 days of their growth period and should be followed by a hardening process five to seven days prior to actual transplanting.

🌱 Proper spacing of tomato plants is 50 centimeters apart in one or two rows per bed, depending on the variety specifications.

⛈️ Setting up a trellis system for tomato plants is crucial, as it helps support the plants during the fruiting stage and prevents the fruit from touching the ground, resulting in higher quality produce.

🍅 Regularly apply fertilizers in small quantities at the tip of the plant route, following the recommendations provided in crop guides, and regularly observe the field to prevent the spread of disease.

🌿 Tomato plants are ready to harvest in 60 to 70 days after transplanting, depending on the variety and market preference. Harvest the fruits in the morning or late afternoon, and handle them carefully by placing them in a shadowed, well-ventilated area.
