Success in both open and greenhouse is attainable with the right blend of strategic investment and proficient management. While growing bag technology (hydroponic) for tomatoes stands out as an excellent choice, it's essential to note that the initial investment cost is relatively high. Careful consideration and informed decision-making are crucial factors in achieving optimal results.
@@ERICKKUMARIi would like to visit your farm... is it possible? I am in a process to start a tomato farm but i think i need more other than following you on video. Thanks
Clarifying the terminology, determinate and bush varieties are the same things. When referring to a tomato variety as determinate, it signifies that the growth performance can be precisely determined (Doesn't grow very tall). While indeterminate varieties exhibit unrestricted growth, often vertically (endless height). In practice, many indeterminate varieties are preferably grown in the greenhouse environments, while bush or determinate types are typically grown in the open field.
Thank you ERICK for your good work...your videos are very educating is more like am physically on a field study .. please currently I have a farm project am starting and will appreciate if we can share contact I really will be needing your guide./mentorship for the farm project. thank you.
Tomato pruning is crucial for optimal ripening, with timing and technique varying based on tomato variety. Indeterminate varieties should be pruned three weeks after transplanting to remove shoots, while determinate varieties should have bottom leaves removed at least seven weeks post-transplanting or as needed to prevent contact with soil. Remember not to prune shoots for determinate varieties, doing so reduce the yield. Pruning promotes air circulation, reduces disease risk, and directs energy towards fruit development, ensuring healthy, ripe tomatoes.
Determinate variety means their growth is short/small height, meaning their growth height can be determined eg Open field variety are mostly Determinate or semi-determinate While indeterminate variety their growth is not determined which means grow very tall.eg greenhouse variety
