Irrigation

Irrigation is critical in tomato production. It is important to supply sufficient water at critical times such as immediately after sowing or transplanting. The frequency of irrigation depends on the soil type and temperature. Excess irrigation after a long, dry spell without prior light irrigation results in fruit cracking. It is best not to irrigate by overhead sprinklers as wet leaves encourage the development of early and late blight.

During the first four weeks apply 21mm of water weekly. During the following eight weeks, apply 38mm per week. For the remainder of the season, apply 31mm per week. Over irrigation after the fruit has formed can cause the fruit to crack.
