Tomato Farming Practices

At Mariya Alif Agro Farm, we employ modern and sustainable methods for tomato cultivation to ensure high yield and quality.

1. Soil Preparation

Healthy tomatoes start with fertile soil. We enrich soil using organic compost, ensure proper drainage, and maintain optimal pH levels for maximum growth.

2. Seed Selection

We select high-yield, disease-resistant seeds to ensure robust plants and better fruit quality.

3. Irrigation

We use efficient drip irrigation systems to conserve water while ensuring plants receive adequate moisture.

4. Pest and Disease Management

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices help protect tomatoes naturally, reducing the need for harmful chemicals.

5. Harvesting

Tomatoes are harvested at peak ripeness to guarantee optimal flavor, nutrition, and shelf life.
