Tips and Tricks (EP-01)

 Hi everyone this is Vishal. I came with the new tips and tricks about tomatoes🍅🍅.

Before going to tips and tricks we will know facts about tomatoes.

*Tomatoes are loaded with a substance called lycopene. It gives them their bright red color and helps protect them from the ultraviolet rays of the sun. In much the same way, it can help protect your cells from damage. Tomatoes also have potassium, vitamins B and E , and other nutrients.

If you want to yield good tomatoes try these tips below:

1) Ensure plenty of sunlight: Among the top tips to grow tomatoes is this one! Tomato is a warm season crop and requires at least 6 hours of sun on a daily basis. Therefore, ensure that the site you pick is always blessed with plenty of sunlight.

2) Avoid seed crowding: Tomato seedlings need plenty of room to branch out. Crowding them will not just inhibit their growth but also result in unforeseen diseases. For tomatoes, two systems of spacing are generally followed, based on the type of crop variety or hybrid, either 60 × 45 cm or 45 × 30 cm. Seed Rate is 160–200 g/ac for varieties and 60–80 g/ac for hybrids.

3) Clip the “suckers” regularly: Between the tomato plant’s stem and branch often grows another stem that produces new branches along the way. The downside is that these “suckers” don’t produce any fruit and hog all the air and energy of the plant. Clip them on a regular basis to ensure a bountiful harvest.

4) Keep removing the bottom leaves: Once your plants reach above 3 feet, remove the bottom leaves as they’re the first ones to develop fungus issues. They’re also the oldest, and get lesser and lesser amount of sun and airflow. These also give rise to soil-borne pathogens that can deteriorate the harvest later on.

5) Water without fail: Tomato crop thrives on loamy, well-drained soil and therefore, water deeply and regularly without skipping. Irregular watering can lead to blossom-end rot and cracking, so, especially during summer season, irrigation every 5–7 days is necessary, whereas in winter, a 10 to 15-day interval is sufficient.

Don’t forget to mulch: Mulching conserves water and prevents the soil from diseases moving up across the plants. For efficient mulching, bring into use black LDPE sheets of 25-micron thickness and bury both the ends into the soil to a depth of 10 cm.

So try these tips to yield better tomatoes and I hope this information helps you out

So that's it see in the next Ep until then stay tuned peace out ✌️
