Tomatoes are warm loving crops with high requirements for photosynthesis. Therefore, in the process of tomato cultivation, it is necessary to attach great importance to the application of cultivation techniques and the development of field management work. Based on this, today I will give you a detailed explanation of cultivation techniques and field management measures for your reference. If you are interested in this topic, please follow me to read on.
1.1 Selection and Treatment of Cultivation Land
In the process of cultivating tomatoes, for geology, flat terrain should be selected as much as possible, and the soil layer should be deep to ensure the water source and convenient transportation of the cultivated land. When choosing soil, sandy loam soil is better than loam soil, and it is absolutely not advisable to choose cultivation plots with high humidity. In addition, the natural fertility of the plot should be ideal. The organic matter content of the field should exceed 1%, the alkaline nitrogen content should exceed 60%, and the total salt content of the soil should not exceed 0.6%. Usually, in the process of cultivating tomatoes, high requirements are placed on soil aeration conditions. To ensure the adequacy of organic fertilizer in sandy loam soil, the selected land does not allow for hard or repetitive cropping. At the same time, it is not allowed to replant with crops such as eggplants or potatoes to avoid inducing pests and diseases, which may have adverse effects on the later planting of tomatoes.
1.2 Cultivated Varieties
When choosing tomato varieties for cultivation, it is advisable to choose early maturing varieties with strong disease resistance and relatively concentrated results. During the actual cultivation period, it is required to combine the local climate conditions and soil properties to ensure that the distance between the ditch center is controlled between 1.4-1.5 meters, and the row spacing on the film should be controlled at 40cm, while the distance between plants should be between 30-33cm. The number of protected seedlings per acre should be controlled at 3000, and transplanting work should be actively carried out based on actual needs.
