Round smooth tomato is one of the most widespread and popular types, with firm flesh and long storage life, ideal for fresh use.
It belongs to the species Solanum lycopersicum, family Solanaceae. A plant that prefers a warm temperate climate and good sun exposure.
Sow in a heated seedbed between February and March; transplant between April and May, when the ideal temperature is around 26°C.
It needs a steady but not excessive water supply, avoiding wetting leaves and fruit; fertilising with phosphorus and potassium helps during soil preparation.
The round, smooth, bright red fruits are picked by hand between July and September once fully ripe.
It fears both drought and waterlogging; good canopy ventilation and avoiding wet leaves help prevent fungi and mould.
Thanks to its firm flesh and long storage life, it is perfect for salads, but also suits cooking and sauces.
Rich in lycopene, vitamin C and potassium, round smooth tomato has antioxidant properties beneficial to overall wellbeing.
