Plant Density
Also known as: planting density
Plant density refers to the number of tomato plants growing in a given area. Planting too densely limits light exposure, reduces air circulation, and increases the risk of disease. Planting too sparsely, on the other hand, results in underutilization of the growing area. Optimal plant density depends on the variety’s growth habit and the training system used. Follow the recommendations for the variety and training system; if no data is available, choose a wider spacing.
