Where and when to plant Nina tomato
Bacterial wilt kills more lowland tomato than any other disease, so in the wet season pick a variety rated resistant to it. Choose a firm, oblong fruit if you sell to a far market, and a round, juicy one for fresh sale nearby. Heat tolerant hybrids set fruit in the hot months, when open pollinated tomatoes often drop their flowers. Before planting, get the field ready with our guide: Land preparation for vegetables.
Before you buy seed
- Buy sealed packs or tagged sacks from an accredited dealer, and check the packing date and germination rate.
