New greenhouse tomato handbook published in Mississippi

Greenhouse tomato production has attracted much attention in recent years, partly because of a new wave of interest in “alternative crops.” The attraction is based on the perception that greenhouse tomatoes may be more profitable than the more conventional agronomic or horticultural crops. The popularity may also be due to misconceptions about how easily this crop can be grown.

Mississippi State University Extension has produced a handbook focused on greenhouse tomato production.

The Greenhouse Tomato Handbook has more information for growers who are looking to make the switch. Download the handbook here.
