Tomato Care for Higher Yields

Tomato Care for Higher Yields

Sunday, August 11

1:00 pm – 4:00 pm

Instructor: Rich Tobiasz

Providing ideal care for your tomato crop leads to greater yields, which leads to higher profit, and more tomatoes for your family or for canning. So, what is this “ideal care of tomatoes”? This presentation will include discussions on soil, fertility, and methods of minimizing disease and pest issues. Then we’ll move outside to see and discuss tomato production methods on the MCC Student Farm in both the high tunnel and outdoors. What varieties are we growing here, and how do we work to increase yields in both environments?
