The growing season for tomatoes in South Australia has not been without its challenges with very high temperatures which made it necessary to increase irrigation, but nevertheless have ensured a good quality of supply.
âThe growing season in South Australia has been prosperous, particularly taking into consideration some of the weather that we have experienced,â according to Steve Tsakoumakis, Director of Sales and Marketing at Kapiris Bros. âIn the earlier parts of this summer, we faced a few weather challenges of extremely hot temperatures with some days consecutively reaching 40°C and above. These conditions prompted us to take some measures such as adapting our scheduled water regime differently and performing our beneficial folia application prior, during and after these days with consistent heat.â
