STAKING: A VITAL PRACTICE IN TOMATO AND CUCUMBER CULTIVATION

Dealing with climbing crops can be frustrating. Sometimes when proper care is not taken breakage can occur thereby truncating or inferring with plant growth. 

When climbing crops like cucumbers lie on the ground as their shoots grow and fruits develop, they may begin to rot. Therefore, there is need to support plants where necessary to prevent losses due to breakage, rot etc. Where such losses are prevented, maximal yield/production is encouraged. 

It is important to note that while all varieties of cucumber need staking, not all varieties of tomatoes need staking (determinate tomatoes for instance, do not). 

Staking which is simply the support given to plants using stakes e.g. bamboo sticks, staking ropes, sticks etc. has several amazing benefits especially in tomato and cucumber cultivation. 

These benefits include;

  • 1. Promotes easy farm management.
  • 2. Prevents rapid spread of diseases.
  • 3. Aids proper fruit setting and even fruit coloration.
  • 4. Promotes uniform light distribution to the plants.
  • 5. Adds to aesthetic value of farm.
  • 6. Aids harvest procedures.
  • 7. Encourages high yield.
  • 8. Prevents easy breakage of plant parts at slightest pressure.

Staking your tomato and cucumber plant is not so technical.
