When to grow cherry tomato and what yield to expect.
2 Answers
In the open field cherry tomato follows the normal tomato calendar, mainly a winter and mild-weather crop in the plains, transplanted so fruiting avoids extreme heat and heavy rain. In a polyhouse you can run it almost year round in many regions. Indeterminate types trained on strings yield over a long picking period; yields vary widely with crop length and management, so plan on a conservative figure and verify what growers near you actually get. It does not tolerate frost or prolonged high heat well. Confirm exact dates and a suitable variety with your KVK.
In my polyhouse near Nashik a single indeterminate crop keeps giving for months if I keep it healthy. Open field winter crop near me finishes much faster.
