Growing tomatoes in open fields at this time of year comes with real risks;

• Fungal and bacterial diseases increase due to high moisture

• Fruit cracking and rot from excessive rainfall

• Pest pressure rises as conditions favour rapid multiplication

• Quality and yield losses if field management is not timely

At Mt. Pleasant Farm, we manage these risks through;

• Proper field drainage

• Timely scouting and disease control

• Careful variety selection

• Good agronomic practices

Open-field tomatoes in the rainy season are possible but they require experience, vigilance, and good management. High disease pressure, fruit cracking, rot & pest outbreaks are real risks. Good drainage, scouting and management often make the difference. Agribusiness Media

We increased in-row spacing on 1.2 ha of watermelons (Fahari variety from Syngenta). More room = better airflow, stronger vines & bigger fruits 💪🍉. Practical tweaks, real field results. That’s how we grow at . 🎥👇
