TOMATO PLANT

This time I will describe about the treatment given to plants in their infancy. The
plant that became my object this time was a tomato plant. This was caused by tomato plants
being able to grow in a relatively short amount of time.Treatment taken in the process of
planting tomato is not too hard.Seeds from tomato plants are very easy and commonly found.
In addition to tomatoes as for plants that are practical and easy to plant with time for growth
not so long. Among them are sprouts, chillies, mint leaves, and much more.

Tomato plants its a fruit and vegetable The root system in tomatoes is riding or
dicot..Tomatoes have a latin name that is, lycopersicum esculentum. Labelled as a vegetable
for nutritional purposes, tomatoes are a good source of vitamin C and the phytochemical
lycopene. The fruits are commonly eaten raw in salads, served as a cooked vegetable, used
as an ingredient of various prepared dishes, and pickled. Additionally, a large percentage of
the world’s tomato crop is used for processing products include canned tomatoes, tomato
juice, ketchup, puree, paste, and “sun-dried” tomatoes or dehydrated pulp. In the process of
planting i use rotten tomatoes, i use that because the seeds on these rotten tomatoes can still
be planted and grow back.

This paragraph will explain how to grow tomatoes from rotten tomatoes.First, you
have to prepare a bag of polybags containing fertile soil for plants dan 1 rotten
tomato.Second, make a hole in the soil that is in the pollybag. Do not make a hole too deep to
the bottom but make a hole in the ground to the middle of the land, and put the tomatoes in
the hole that was made earlier, then crush the tomatoes until the tomato seeds stick out using
a spoon or other tool that can be used.Third, cover the hole with soil again until the tomato is
completely not visible.Then, flush the tomatoes that have been planted with enough water,
and make sure the water does not stagnate on the surface of the poly bag because excess
water at the beginning of watering can cause stunts in the initial growth of tomatoes.

After doing the planting process, start caring the tomato plants so they can grow
well. What need to do is, water the plants with the appropriate water content every 2 times a
day, in the morning around 8 am and afternoon around 4 pm. Put the tomato plant in a place
exposed to sunlight, because sunlight is verry important for photosynthesis so tomato plant
can grow well. But if it rains, the tomato plants no need to be watered, because excess water
in the tomato plants will make the tomato plants die. On the first day to the third day we can
only seen a small stem measuring half an inch appeared on the plant. On the fourth day
tomatoes began to grow with small stems about 2 cm in size and on the fifth day after the
planting process, the plants begin to grow so that they appear as small stems that are
approximately 2 cm in size with 2 leaves.The plant grows continuously until other small
stems appear around the first stem. On the twelfth day the tomato plants grew taller and the
leaves multiplied.Tomato plant growth is quite fast if treated routinely every day. But,to bear
fruit tomato plants need more time.
 So, Tomato plants its a fruit and vegetable with the root system in tomatoes is riding
or dicot.Tomatoes have a latin name that is, lycopersicum esculentum. Tomato is one of the
plants that can be planted and do not require a long time to grow.The materials and tools used
in growing tomatoes are not difficult to obtain. Labelled as a vegetable for nutritional
purposes, tomatoes are a good source of vitamin C and also The fruits are commonly eaten
raw in salads, served as a cooked vegetable, used as an ingredient of various prepared dishes,
and pickled. How to care these plants is not so difficult, tomato plant growth is quite fast if
treated routinely every day. But,to bear fruit tomato plants need more time.
