Know why staking is important in tomato crops

23/06/2022Posted on

At the time of tomato fruiting, the plant falls down due to the excess weight of the tomato plant. Due to which the crop gets destroyed. Due to this the farmer has to bear heavy losses. Along with this, pests and diseases are also more prone to fall under the plant. Therefore, to keep the tomatoes from falling down, tie them with wire and keep them safe.

Method and benefits of staking

For staking, 10 feet high bamboo poles are placed at a distance of 10 feet along the side of the ridge. Iron wire is tied on these poles at a height of 2-2 feet. After that the plants are tied to the wire with the help of twine, due to which these plants grow upwards. The height of these plants reaches up to 5-8 feet, due to which not only the plant becomes strong, but the fruit is also better. In addition, the fruit is also saved from rotting. By this method, more profit can be obtained than conventional farming.
