Vegetable yield


Vegetable yields can vary considerably depending on several factors, including the type of vegetable, growing conditions, climate, soil, and cultural practices.

Here are some general examples of average yields per square meter or per plant for some common vegetables:

Tomato plant yield


• Yield per plant: Approximately 5 to 15 kg of tomatoes per plant, depending on the variety.
• Yield per square meter: Approximately 8 to 15 kg per square meter, depending on planting density.

For a family of 3 we recommend 8 salad or stuffing tomato plants and 2 cherry tomato plants.

Pepper Plant Yield


• Yield per plant: Approximately 2 to 4 kg of peppers per plant.
• Yield per square meter: Approximately 4 to 8 kg per square meter.

For a family of 3 we recommend one pepper plant.

The yield of zucchini plants


• Yield per plant: Approximately 3 to 5 kg of zucchini per plant.
• Yield per square meter: Approximately 4 to 7 kg per square meter.

For a family of 3 we recommend 2 zucchini plants.

Green bean yields


• Yield per plant: Approximately 1 to 2 kg of green beans per plant.
• Yield per square meter: Approximately 2 to 4 kg per square meter.

For a family of 3 we recommend 10 linear meters.

The yield of carrots


• Yield per square meter: Approximately 5 to 10 kg of carrots per square meter, depending on planting density.

For a family of 3 people 10 linear meters.

Lettuce yield


• Yield per square meter: Approximately 3 to 6 kg of lettuce per square meter, depending on planting density.

For a family of 3 we recommend 10 plants every 3 weeks from March to September.

Eggplant yield


• Yield per plant: Approximately 2 to 4 kg of eggplants per plant.
• Yield per square meter: Approximately 4 to 8 kg per square meter.

For a family of 3 we recommend 4 eggplant plants.

It's important to note that these figures are general estimates and can vary depending on many factors, such as the specific vegetable variety, growing practices, weather conditions, and plant care. Gardeners can increase their yields by choosing varieties suited to their region, providing optimal growing conditions, and following good growing practices.
