Tomatoes should be well taken care of especially during the rainy season to avoid disease disturbances. In the rainy season, pest infestation reduces while tomatoes become vulnerable to diseases for they do well in humid and cold weather.
To avoid these diseases plant the sticks to support the tomatoes by using gunny sacks strings to tie tomatoes to the sticks. In the rainy season the tomatoes are well fed for rainwater comes with a lot of nitrogen hence the tomatoes grow bushy, hence support is needed to keep them firm from lying on the ground. This helps the tomatoes escape fungal diseases that are brought by the moisture content in the ground. It..also gives space for spraying, hence it reaches all parts of the plant. It also gives the plant exposure to the sunshine for better photosynthesis which aids more flowers, leading to more fruits and increasing production. It also helps a farmer produce clean fruits.
