Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is an annual plant from the nightshade family, native to South America. Its fruits are rich in vitamins A, C, K and lycopene, which acts as a strong antioxidant. Regular consumption of tomatoes supports the immune system, has a beneficial effect on the heart and skin.
Cultivation requirements:
-
Position: The tomato prefers sunny, warm and wind-sheltered positions. The optimal growth temperature is 22-26°C.
-
Soil: It grows best on fertile, humus soils, with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (pH 6.0-7.0). The soil should be well-drained and moderately moist.
Sowing and care:
-
Sowing: Tomato seeds are sown indoors in March or early April, and seedlings are planted in the ground in the second half of May, when the risk of frost has passed. It is recommended to grow from seedlings due to the long growing season.
-
Irrigation: The tomato requires regular watering, especially during flowering and fruit set. Sprinkling the leaves should be avoided to prevent the development of fungal diseases.
-
Fertilization: Before sowing, it is worth enriching the soil with compost or well-decomposed manure. During vegetation, mineral fertilizers with a predominance of phosphorus and potassium can be used, avoiding excess nitrogen, which promotes lush leaf growth at the expense of yield.
