How long does the growth cycle of cherry tomatoes take?

Introduction to Cherry Tomato Growth

Cherry tomatoes prefer a warm environment and are widely grown in China, concentrated in Tianyang, Guangxi, because the area has a monsoon climate and the soil and precipitation are suitable for planting.

Cherry tomato growth cycle

Cherry tomatoes prefer a warm, humid and sunny environment, and can tolerate certain high temperatures and cold weather. They grow best when the annual average temperature is 25.2 degrees. They are suitable for planting in fertile, loose and well-drained soil and are afraid of waterlogging.

Cherry tomatoes take 110-170 days from planting to harvest.

Cherry tomato growth rate

The sowing time for spring tomatoes is from December to early January. Seedlings are raised in greenhouses, transplanted to the fields in late March, and harvested from late May to late July. Autumn tomatoes need to be sown and raised in late June, transplanted in July, and harvested in September. They grow faster.

Cherry tomato growth cycle management

If cultivated outdoors, the yield per mu can be as high as 8,000-12,000 jin. If cultivated in an indoor greenhouse, the yield per mu is generally 10,000-140,000 jin.

Temperature management: Cherry tomatoes are sensitive to temperature. The temperature at night cannot be lower than 6-10 degrees. If the temperature is too low, the quality will decline. The maximum temperature cannot exceed 35 degrees. When the daytime temperature is 25 degrees, windows need to be opened for ventilation.

Fertilization management: Cherry tomatoes need to be fertilized with organic fertilizer, but the amount of nitrogen fertilizer should be controlled. Decomposed manure, human and animal manure, vegetable cake, compound fertilizer, and superphosphate can be applied as base fertilizer per acre. Potassium fertilizer should be added before harvesting.
