Favourable Climate

Tomato Favourable Climate
Climate
  • Heavy rains, cloudy weather at the time of flowering and fruiting is harmful as it favours dropping of flowers and fruits.
  • The plants cannot withstand frost and high humidity.
  • High humidity leads to rotting of fruits.
  • Bright sunshine at the time of fruit set helps to develop dark red coloured fruits.
Temperature
  • Temperature below 10°C retards plant development.
  • If temperature goes beyond 33°C, fruit development will be adversely affected.
  • Temperature above 38°C at initial growth stage retard the growth.
  • A temperature ranging from 21-24°C is ideal for tomato.
Crop Water Requirement
  • Generally Grown in irrigated areas.
  • To grow high quality tomato, drip with plastic mulching is recommended.
  • Crop requires large amount of water at vegetative stage (upto 30 days).
  • Crop water requirement- equivalent to 600-900 mm rainfall

Nursery Preparation

Tomato Nursery Preparation
Method 1
  • For transplanting in 1 acre area, 0.08 acre (3 Guntha) nursery is required.
  • Prepare six beds of size 3 m length X 1 m width X 15 cm height.
  • Sow the seeds 2-3 cm deep in line at 10 cm apart and cover with soil.
  • Water the nursery beds daily twice till germination and once after germination.
  • 4-5 days before transplanting reduce the quantity of water application to the nursery beds to harden the seedlings and one day before transplanting give light irrigation.
Method 2
  • Fill the protrays with Cocopeat @ 1.2 kg per protray.
  • Sow the treated seeds in protrays @ 1 seed per cell.
  • Cover the seed with cocopeat and keep the protrays one above the other and cover with a polythene sheet till germination starts (5 Days).
  • After 6 days, place the protrays with germinated seeds individually on the raised beds inside a shade net.
Nursery Duration
  • Duration- 25-30 days
  • Plants are ready for transplanting when leaves become dark green in color and stem become thick.

    Irrigation
    • Drip- On alternate day
    • Flood- 8-10 days interval (winter), 6-8 days interval (Summer)
    • Sprinkler should be avoided as under sprinkler irrigation the occurrence of fungal diseases and possibly bacterial canker become a major problem.
    • Excessive watering during the flowering period will increase flower drop and reduce fruit set.
    • Avoid prolonged water stagnation and long dry period as it causes cracking of fruits.
