Tomato Liberian is a delicious and peculiar variety that flourishes under Indian climatic conditions. Tomato is simply cultivated from seed with due care and conditions. Following are step-by-step instructions to cultivate healthy and fruiting tomato plants.

To make germination faster, seeds can be pre-soaked in warm water for 6 to 8 hours before sowing. This will rupture the seed coat and speed up germination.

Tomatoes prefer sunlight and warmth. Choose a location that gets 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Slightly acidic to neutral to slightly acidic (pH 6.0 to 7.0) soil with good organic matter and well-drained soil is ideal. Compost or rotten dung would be excellent for soil nutrients.

Sow the seeds in seed trays or small pots. Sow them in well-potting soil, and finally sow them about ¼ inch deep and cover them with soil lightly. Water and keep the soil moist but not wet.

Water them frequently, particularly if the weather is hot. Keep soil moist but not soggy so that root rot will not set in. Set the seedlings in a big pot or directly in the ground when they have reached 4 to 6 inches tall. Plant them 18 to 24 inches apart to ensure air circulation.

Support the tomato plants at planting. Stakes, cages, and trellises support them from growing flat out. This keeps the fruit off the ground and away from causing possible diseases.

Tomato Liberian Feed the plants an organic fertilizer or compost tea every 2-3 weeks. Tomatoes utilize nitrogen to grow leafy growth and phosphorus and potassium to develop the fruit.

Inspect for general tomato pests such as aphids, whiteflies, and caterpillars. Kill infestations using neem oil or a diluted soap solution. Prevent fungal disease by providing good air circulation and not top watering.

Tomato ‘Liberian’ fruit must be picked when it has ripened to a deep red color and is very soft to the touch. Gently harvest them so that they are not damaged. Heavy picking will urge the plant to produce more fruit.
