Tomatoes, also known as tomatoes, are very popular among the general public. The fruit is rich in nutrition and has

Special flavor. Can be eaten raw, cooked, and processed into ketchup, juice or whole fruit. Tomato is the most commonly cultivated fruit in the world

One of the dishes. The United States, the Soviet Union, Italy and China are the main producers. Large area in Europe, America, China and Japan

Cultivation of greenhouses, plastic greenhouses and other protected ground facilities. It is commonly grown throughout China. The cultivation area is still expanding.

1. 1. Tomatoes are Solanaceae, annual or perennial herbs. Plant height is 0.6-2m. The entire plant is covered with mucous glandular hairs. The stems are semi-erect or semi-vine, easily lodging, and range from 0.7 to 1.0 m or 1.0 to 1.3 m in height. The stem has strong branching ability, and it is easy to produce adventitious roots on the stem nodes, the stems are easy to fall, and the roots are rooted on contact with the ground, so tomato cuttings are more likely to survive. Odd pinnate compound leaves or pinnately fissures, alternate; leaves are 5 to 40 cm long; leaflets are extremely irregular and vary in size, often 5 to 9 pieces, ovate or oblong, 5 to 7 cm in length, with a pointed tip The edges have irregular serrations or lobes, are partially skewed, and have small handles. Flowers are bisexual, yellow, self-pollinated, complex racemes. Flowers 3-9, forming lateral inflorescences; calyx 5-7 lobes, lobes lanceolate to linear, persistent during fruit; corolla yellow, radial, 5-7 lobes, about 2cm in diameter; stamens 5 7 roots, inserted in the tube, short filaments, semi-polymeric anthers, or a cone around the pistil; ovary 2-loculed to multiloculed, stigma capitate. The fruits are berries. The berries are oblate or nearly spherical, fleshy and juicy, orange or bright red, smooth. The seeds are flat and kidney-shaped, grayish yellow, 1000-grain weight is 3.0-3.3g, and the life span is 3 to 4 years. Flowers, fruit summer and autumn. The root system is developed and the regeneration ability is strong, but most of the root groups are distributed in the soil layer of 30-50 cm.

   2. Germination period: from sowing to the appearance of the first true leaf (broken heart). This period is 7-9 days under normal temperature conditions; the seedling stage refers to the emergence of the first true leaf to the emergence of the first inflorescence. The suitable day temperature for this period is 25-28 ° C and night temperature is 13-17 ° C. The ground temperature in this period has a great impact on the growth of seedlings, and the appropriate ground temperature should be maintained at 22 ~ 23 ° C; the fruiting stage of the beginning flowering refers to the emergence from the first inflorescence to the fruit setting. This stage is a turning point for tomatoes from vegetative growth to reproductive growth and vegetative growth. It is directly related to the formation and production of product organs; the fruiting period: from the inflorescence of the first inflorescence to the end of harvest (pulling) . During this period, fruit and seedlings grow at the same time, and solving the contradiction between vegetative and reproductive growth is the key task in this period.

   3 Requirements for environmental conditions (1) Temperature Tomatoes are thermophilic vegetables. Under normal conditions, the optimum temperature for assimilation is 20-25 ° C, and the optimum soil temperature for root growth is 20-22 ° C. Increasing soil temperature can not only promote root development, but also significantly increase the content of nitrate nitrogen in the soil, accelerate growth and development, and increase yield. (2) Illuminated tomatoes are hi-light crops, with a light saturation point of 70,000lx, and a suitable light intensity of 30,000 to 50,000lx. Tomato is a short-day plant. Short-day light is basically required in the process of changing from vegetative growth to reproductive growth, but the requirements are not strict. Some varieties can bud and flower in advance under short-day light, and most varieties bloom under 11- 13h sunlight. Early, plants grow robustly. (3) Moisture Tomatoes need more water, but do not need to be irrigated frequently. Generally, the soil humidity is 60 to 80%, and the air humidity is 45 to 50%. The high air humidity not only hinders normal pollination, but also causes severe disease under high temperature and high humidity conditions. (4) Soil and nutrient tomatoes have less stringent requirements on soil conditions, but in order to obtain high yields and promote good root system development, fertile loam soils with deep soil layers, good drainage, and rich in organic matter should be selected. The pH of the soil is preferably between 6 and 7, and the soils that are too acidic or alkaline should be improved. Tomatoes need to absorb a large amount of nutrients from the soil during the growth process. According to Ageristan, for every 5000 kg of fruit produced, 33 kg of potassium oxide, 10 kg of nitrogen, and 5 kg of phosphoric acid need to be absorbed from the soil.
