Product Description

The tomato is the second most widely grown vegetable crop in the world and the number one vegetable grown in home gardens in the U.S. Rich in Vitamins A and C, tomato fruit contains the antioxidant lycopene. A recent long-term medical study indicates that individuals who regularly consume fresh tomatoes or processed tomato products are less likely to develop certain forms of cancer than those who do not. Tomato Plant Culture: In the Field, Greenhouse, and Home Garden provides comprehensive factual information about tomato plant culture and fruit production, beneficial to plant scientists and commercial field and greenhouse growers as well as the home gardener. Data compiled focuses on the more recent literature, including information about the cultural characteristics of the plant; fruit production and related quality factors; and environmental and nutritional requirements for both field- and greenhouse-grown plants.

This book is an excellent source of information to TECHNICALLY handle the crop, specially in the nutrition matters, because it gives you all the parameters you have to reach in the different stages in order to reach an optimal harvest. Also, it has specific detail information that you can not find easily elsewhere. Congratulations Benton!!

By Jesse - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Tomato Plant Culture In the Field, Greenhouse, and Home Garden (Hardcover)

Definitely not worth the 60 dollars that I paid for this book. Some good information on tomato culture but also has a lot of info that you could get from general horticulture books at a much cheaper price.
