LESSON 5.20 TOMATOES - IMPROVING TOMATO PRODUCTION

Over the past 20 years, processed tomatoes yields have increased by 60% globally, with the average yield increasing from 52 Mt/ha in 1997 to 83 Mt/ha in 2017.

While overall yield is increasing, there is significant variance between geographies. California, the largest producer of processed tomatoes globally, yields an average of 107 Mt/ha, compared to Argentina, Mexico, France and Turkey which average between 66 – 73 Mt/ha.

By choosing the right irrigation system, growers around the world can transform and improve their existing production yields.

Take California for example, where over the past 20 years, growers have transitioned from sprinkler and flood irrigation to advanced subsurface drip irrigation systems resulting in the significant yield increases shown above.

We offer the widest range of drip irrigation solutions, so you can accurately irrigate your tomato crops to maximize the 120 day crop cycle and achieve the best brix rating and yields.

Drip irrigation improves fruit quality

Size, firmness, colour consistency, brix level, content, lycopene content, pH, shelf life, hollowness and cracking.

Why SUBSURFACE DRIP IRRIGATION beats Overhead Sprinkler Irrigation

Decreased Disease Risk

Tomatoes, along with many crops in the Solanaceae family, are extremely sensitive to leaf disease.

Moisture on the canopy from overhead sprinkler irrigation can lead to disease which will cost you in yield and quality. SUBSURFACE DRIP IRRIGATION delivers the right amount of water to the root of the plant, preventing water from gathering on the leaves.

The table below features some of the diseases that more frequently occur due to overhead sprinkler irrigation. By choosing the right irrigation system, growers around the world can transform and improve their existing production yields.

  ORGANIC FARMING COURSE AGRO -ECONOMY 2 AGRIBUSINESS – 2.6 – THE WORK IN THE SEASONS   Winter or dry season as we call it Africa is a time for building and repairing, for felling timber and converting it, for laying hedges, digging drains and ditches, building fences and stone walls. If the soil in the garden is heavy clay, it is best to keep off it as much as possible, because digging or working such soil in winter only does harm to it. On lighter land the same inhibition does not apply In cold climates the land may be deep under snow anyway, and all the crops that have been harvested will be safe in clamp or root cellar, or stored away in jars or bottles, crocks and barrels. The good husbandman should start the winter feeling that his labours have secured him a store of good and varied food, to keep him and his family through the dark months, and provide hospitality for his friends too.
