Selection of tomato cultivar• Dependant on market and location/climate.

• High yields, uniform fruit, and free from cracking and russeting.

• Disease resistance.

• Most are indeterminate hybrids…reach 40 ft and produce 10‐12 months.

N lti il bl h d• New cultivars are available each year and should be tested for individual locations.

Types of greenhouse culture

• Systems: NFT, Bag, Nursery Pot, Trough

• Media: Rockwool, perlite, pinebark, others (i.e. Coir, stones)

Production

• Transplant production : from seed to transplant 4‐5 weeks

(• Produce in smaller area (reduce heating and cooling costs).

• High quality, pest and pathogen free transplants are essential with a long crop.

• Optimal temperatures: 80 ‐ 85°F days, 65°F nights

• High temperatures can reduce fruit quality fruit set or marketabilityquality, fruit set or marketability‐ uneven ripening‐ rough and cracked shoulders

• Cool temperatures can also cause similar• Cool temperatures can also cause similar problems (ex. Catfacing)‐ blotchy ripening‐ chilling injury
