Cultural Practices For
Machine Harvest
The key to successful mechani
cal harvesting of tomatoes on
the Delmarva Peninsula lies in
the adaptation of new cultural
practices, accoiding to Richard
Northern of Massey, Md, who
had 90 acies of tomatoes ma
chine harvested in 1970.
Northam told those attending
the 84th annual meeting of the
Peninsula Horticultural Society
that Delmarva tomato growers
have adequate machines to har
vest their crops, varieties that
will hold up under mechanical
harvesting, and the support of
local processors But before
mechanical harvesters can prove
their value, growers will have
to change certain cultural prac
tices.
Cultural practices that need
changing include bed prepara
tion, fertilization, weed control
and planting, he explained
Tomato growers have tradi
tionally used a fertilization pro
gram designed to maintain a
strong, vigorous plant as long
as possible But this type of
program doesn’t produce more
fruit, it only delays the time it
takes for the fruit to mature,
says Northam A grower should
put on only enough fertilizer so
that the plant gets off to a good
start and sets well Then the
plant should stop growing and
let the fiuit ripen
•For mechanical harvesting,
the bed should be level and
raised three to four inches above
the row following the last cul
tivation, points out the Mary
land grower He does not recom
mend using a bed shaper since
the roto-tiller may change the
structure of the soil and create
a hard pan that prevents good
plant growth.
Good weed control is also es
sential for efficient mechanical
harvesting, says Northam.
“Twenty tons of tomatoes in the
fields covered with weeds will
result m five tons being harvest
ed by the machine.”
Finally, growers will have to
plant direct-seeded tomatoes.
Northam said direct seeding re
duces the cost of plants and
labor in addition to producing
a plant that is relatively free of
disease. He recommends plant
ing no more than 10 to 15 acres
of direct-seeded tomatoes per
week for each machine that
will be used at harvesttime.
