Conteúdo: | The production of processing tomato in Brazil in 2001 was approximately 1 000 000 ton in 16 000 ha. About 77% of all processing tomato production is located in savanna (cerrado) area in Minas Gerais and Goias states. In recent years, tomato production has changed, including the greater use of hybrids. The high cost of hybrid seeds has changed stand establishment of this crop from direct seeding (2 kg seeds/ha) to transplants (0.2 kg seeds/ha) . The transplant industry has used 288-celltrays with a mixture of vermiculite, pine bark and peat as substrate. The time required for tomato transplant production in these conditions has been 21 to 25 days. Mechanization for transplanting is highly favored under savanna topography. The transplanter used in these areas has an average capacity of planting 120 000 transplants per day, corresponding to 4 ha. In some areas, transplant producers deliver the transplants already transplanted in the tomato field. An overview of tomato production and information about transplant production and stand establishment of processsing tomato under tropical conditions will be discussed.
