YOGYAKARTA The productivity of tomatoes plants turns out to be related to the type of soil chosen for planting media. The reason is, tomatoes cannot grow in all types of soil. On the other hand, when tomatoes are grown in the right type of soil, the results are quite abundant. Based on research, the best type of soil for planting tomatoes is soil that contains volcanic material from the volcano. To understand further the following explanation.
Tomatoes are known as plants that are easy to grow. In fact, these plants can grow in almost all types of soil. In fact, these plants can grow in highlands, medium plains, and even lowlands with a height of less than 200 meters above sea level. Although it can grow in various environments, you need to know that tomatoes can thrive more in the Andosol soil type.
In a journal entitled Growth and Results of Intan Kultivar And Mutiara Tomato Plants in Various Types of Land published in the Horticulture Journal, it is said that the ideal andosol soil is to grow tomatoes. Even the fruit produced can be better than other types of soil.
Researchers claim that Andosol has a clumpy structure. Not only that, the soil is also rich in organic materials so that the roots of the tomato plant are able to absorb nutrients more easily. This condition makes the andosol soil suitable as part of the planting medium in tomato farming.
Reporting from the Buleleng Regency Government Agriculture Service, andosol land is a type of soil commonly found in volcanic areas. Many areas have this type of soil, such as Java, Sumatra, Bali, Lombok, and Minahasa.
Similar information is also explained in a book entitled Tanah Andosol in Indonesia: Characteristics, Potential, Constraints, and Management for Agriculture. In the book, it is said that andosol land is the most fertile and productive land compared to other lands.
It should be noted that Andosol has different soil textures, ranging from beerpasir village to sandy viewing. This texture is influenced by tephra, which is volcanic material that is vomited when the mountain erupts. The size and type of tephra also determine whether the soil becomes sandyer, clay, or clay.
Although andosol is very suitable as a planting medium, farmers must also be aware of any diseases that attack tomatoes.
