Staking is a highly specialized production system used by commercial tomato growers. Advantages of this system include improved fruit quality, ease of harvest, less disease, improved spray coverage, larger fruit and fewer damaged fruit.

A raised bed with plastic mulch and drip irrigation are commonly used for this system. Courtesy of Collier County Museums.
