Also available in:
No results found.La horticultura es una actividad que puede generar ingresos importantes, si se proyecta adecuadamente la comercialización en el mercado nacional e internacional. El tomate es un rubro que pueden ser sembrados en forma planificada, en una pequeña finca diversificada. El tomate es una de la hortaliza más importante en el Paraguay. Sin embargo, bajo condiciones de alta temperatura y humedad, el cultivo se ve afectado por diversas enfermedades que afectan la producción que se realiza en campo abiert o. Estas enfermedades causan el bajo rendimiento y calidad e inclusive pérdida total. Debido a la agresividad de las mismas, solamente los tratamientos en forma preventiva presentan cierto grado de eficacia, pero una vez que aparecen los síntomas ya no tienen efecto. El tomate puede cultivarse durante todo el año, pero hay que tener en cuenta que las heladas y el calor excesivo pueden dificultar su buen desarrollo en esas épocas. Para subsanar estos inconvenientes, es imprescindible la adopción de nuevas tecnologías, como ser el cultivo en invernadero, el uso de mallas plásticas que intercepten más del 50 % la luz del sol, y mejorar el sistema de riego. Para obtener buenos resultados, la elección de la variedad debe ir acompañada por la adquisición de una semilla confiable, de buena calidad. Por otro lado, para tener el agricultor éxito comercial, es conveniente que tenga buena información del mercado para ajustar la época de cosecha con las de mejor precio. -
