Tomato Pepper and Eggplant
Why are tomatoes staked?
Tomatoes are staked to keep the fruit off of the ground. Fruit in, contact with the soil, is prone to rot due to soil dwelling fungi. Staking also allows better air movement through the canopy which promotes faster drying and helps prevent foliar diseases. Peppers and eggplant are sometimes staked for the same reason.
