How many pounds of tomatoes are produced per acre?

Tomato yield per mu

The yield of tomatoes depends on the planting area, planting facilities, and cultivation methods. If managed properly, the yield of open-air tomatoes per mu is about 8,000 kilograms, and the yield of greenhouse tomatoes is about 11,000-14,000 kilograms.

Tomato Planting Profits

At present, the market price of tomatoes ranges from 0.3 to 3 yuan per catty, and the planting cost is about 2,000 yuan per mu. If the yield is high, the annual income can be as high as 60,000 yuan, which is a considerable profit.

Tomato is a plant with a high survival rate and is easy to manage. It is currently in short supply in the market. In the long run, both tomato processing and importing are in a state of growth, so tomato planting has a good market prospect.

High-yield planting technology of tomatoes

1. Choose good varieties

If you want to have a high yield of tomatoes, you must choose the varieties according to the climate of your area. Generally speaking, it is best to choose varieties that are cold-resistant, heat-resistant, and disease-resistant.

2. Land preparation and fertilization

It is best to plant tomatoes in areas with high terrain, deep soil and good drainage. Before planting, the soil should be deeply plowed and an appropriate amount of organic fertilizer should be applied as base fertilizer.

3. Sow seeds at the right time

Tomatoes can be sown from March to August every year. After sowing the seeds, they can be covered with a layer of plastic film to keep them warm. In the later stage, the temperature can be controlled at around 20-25℃ to ensure the germination rate of the seeds.
