Tomato Cracking Crisis: Expert Tips to Save Your Crop & Millions!

• Tomato fruit cracking is a major problem causing production loss, poor quality, spoilage, and significant financial losses for farmers.
• Imbalanced irrigation (sudden water after prolonged dryness) and significant day-night temperature fluctuations are primary causes of cracking.
• Nutrient deficiencies, especially calcium and boron, weaken fruit cells and skin, making tomatoes highly prone to cracking.
• Solutions include proper irrigation management (drip system, regular small watering), nutrient sprays (calcium nitrate, boron), and providing partial shade.
• Using mulching, selecting crack-resistant varieties, and regular soil testing are also crucial for effective prevention and better yield.

Why It Matters: Prevent tomato cracking by managing irrigation, nutrients, temperature, and using mulching for better yield and profit.
