Abstract Analysis of costs of tomatoes for processing indicated savings from direct seeding as compared to transplanting. Total production costs for direct seeding averaged $17.34 per acre, or 11% less than for transplanting operations, excluding potential returns from increased useable yields under direct seeding.
