Requirements for growing environment of tomato

Tomatoes can be made in many different ways in our lives, such as stir-frying, eating raw, cold and so on. Tomatoes are very nutritious and have a large cultivation area in China and even in the world, but if you want to grow tomatoes, you need to understand the requirements of the growing environment of tomatoes. The following editor brings you the requirements of the growing environment for tomatoes. Let's have a look!

1. Soil

In fact, tomatoes for the soil requirements are not very strict, because the roots of tomatoes are more developed, can stretch to deeper soil, nutrition absorption is relatively fast. But growing tomatoes on a large scale must want to produce as much as possible, so in order to increase tomato production, choose fertile, soft and deep soil when growing tomatoes. Controlling the PH value of the soil around 6.8, such a soil environment can promote the growth of tomatoes, increase the yield of tomatoes, and maximize their own planting economic benefits.

2. Moisture

The yield of tomatoes is higher, and the demand for water is relatively large, so when growing tomatoes, it is necessary to ensure that there is enough water and the soil water content is large. And tomatoes have different requirements in the failing growth stage, for example, in the tomato seedling stage, it is necessary to ensure that the soil water content is about 60%. The water demand in the fruit period is higher, and we should ensure that the soil water content is in a stable state, if the change is too big, it is easy to affect the growth of tomatoes. There are fruit cracking, fruit drop, causing a variety of diseases and insect pests and other problems, so we should control the moisture when growing tomatoes, improve the water retention of the soil, and prevent water loss.

3. Temperature

Tomatoes are relatively resistant to low temperatures and can grow at a temperature of about 11 degrees, but the most suitable temperature for growth is about 20 degrees. But like the water demand of tomatoes, the temperature requirements change at different growth stages. For example, after sowing, the temperature should be controlled at about 25 degrees. If the temperature is lower than 10 degrees, it will seriously hinder the germination of seeds. After the seeds germinated and broke the soil, the temperature was controlled at about 22 degrees to ensure the growth of seedlings. And we should control the temperature difference between day and night to provide the best environment for tomato growth. In the process of growth, the temperature should be well controlled. Too high and too low will affect the growth of tomatoes to varying degrees.

4. Lighting

There is a great relationship between tomato yield and quality and light, so it is necessary to ensure sufficient light in the process of tomato growth. Otherwise, it is easy to make tomato leaves green, become weak, reduce the ability of photosynthesis, leaves appear early wilt, fallen leaves and other phenomena. Affect the late flowering and fruit, leading to falling flowers and fruits, and so on. However, the light time should not be too long, too long light will easily lead to dehydration of tomato plants. Thus it can be seen that light is very important for the growth of tomatoes, so while ensuring that tomatoes have enough light, we should also avoid other problems.

The above is a brief introduction to the requirements of tomato growth environment. Tomatoes have a certain cultivation area in all parts of our country. However, whether it is family planting or large-scale planting, there will be some diseases and insect pests, so pest control is also what we need to pay attention to when planting.
