Tomatoes can be cultivated throughout the year; however, they face several challenges, whether during high or low temperature conditions. In the current period, tomatoes are exposed to a severe drop in temperatures, which requires taking several important measures to ensure successful cultivation.
Success begins with proper soil preparation and applying adequate fertilization rates according to soil type. This helps enrich the soil with organic matter and creates an ideal environment for the growth and activity of beneficial microorganisms, which contribute to increasing soil temperature. As a result, root activity and nutrient absorption improve.
Covering seedlings with plastic tunnels or growing them in greenhouses provides suitable warmth, enhancing plant growth under cold conditions and reducing nutrient absorption problems during this period.
Due to weak absorption in cold weather, it is essential to intervene with foliar sprays in addition to soil fertilization. This approach ensures good vegetative growth and leads to higher yields.
One of the most common problems affecting tomatoes during extreme temperature conditions—whether high or low—is calcium absorption and mobility within the plant. Migma Kamago provides calcium and magnesium in a pure form with high plant availability when applied as a foliar spray. This supports optimal vegetative growth, promotes flowering, and protects plants from calcium deficiency disorders.
When the plant reaches the flowering stage, around 50 days after planting, it is recommended to apply a compound containing zinc, boron, and molybdenum. This improves ovary vitality, pollen viability, and accelerates fertilization.
All these practices collectively ensure high productivity and successful tomato yields during challenging winter conditions.
