Production Considerations
Tomatoes grow best on well-drained soils that have good air and water infiltration rates. You should conduct a soil test prior to planting tomatoes. Lime should be applied to achieve a pH of 5.8 to 6.6 according to soil test recommendations. You can obtain soil test kits at your local extension office.
Tomatoes require a constant supply of moisture during the growing season. However, excess water at any time during growth, especially after fruit set, may increase the fruit's susceptibility to cracking (both radial and concentric), which can reduce fruit quality and yield. For more information on crop irrigation, consult Agricultural Alternatives: Irrigation for Fruit and Vegetable Production and Agricultural Alternatives: Drip Irrigation for Vegetable Production .
Tomatoes are sensitive to cool night temperatures (below 55°F). The best temperature range for the growing season is between 60° and 90°F; temperatures above 90°F or below 55°F will slow the growth, pollination, and maturation of the crop.
