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
Favourable Soil

pH
- Required range- 6.0-7.5
- If pH is <6.0 add Lime.
- If pH is >7.5 add Gypsum.
Type
- Loamy soil with good water holding capacity

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.
Seed Rate
- 150.0 - 160.0 gram/acre
- 50.0 - 60.0 gram/acre
Seed Treatment
Seed treatment
- Treat the seeds with·
- Imidacloprid- 4 ml
- Instructions- Mix the above quantity in two liters of water for one kg of seeds. Dip the seeds in solution for 10 min & then shade dry for 15 min.
- Mancozeb- 2 gram
- Instructions- Above treated seeds were again treated with the Mancozeb 2 gram for 1 kg of seeds by applying it on the surface.
Land Preparation

Land preparation
- Plough the land 1 or 2 times based on soil type.
- Mix the following in field and keep it in open air for 10 days for proper decomposition - FYM- 2 tons Composting Bacteria- 3 kg
- Spread the above mixture over soil and run rotavator to the entire field making the soil as a fine tilth.
Bed preparation
- Bed preparation- Prepare beds of 120 cm width and 90 cm apart with the help of tractor.

Root Dip Treatment

Root dip treatment
- Take 20 liter water in flat container.
- Mix 40 gram Mancozeb + 40 ml Imidacloprid.
- Dip the roots for 15 mins in solution before transplanting.
- For plants in pro trays- Dip the pro trays in container for 5 min.
Root dip treatment
Transplanting

Transplanting
- Transplant the seedlings on the beds 30 cm apart.
Nutrient Management

- For varieties 80:40:40 N:P:K kg/acre.
- At transplanting apply- Urea- 87 kg Single Super Phosphate- 246 kg Muriate of Potash- 67 kg
- 20 Days after transplant- Urea- 28 kg
- 40 Days after transplant- Urea- 28 kg
- 60 Days after transplant- Urea- 28 kg
- For Hybrids 120:60:60 N:P:K kg/acre.
- At transplanting apply- Urea- 130 kg Single Super Phosphate- 375 kg Muriate of Potash- 100 kg
- 20 Days after transplant- Urea- 44 kg
- 40 Days after transplant- Urea- 44 kg
- 60 Days after transplant- Urea- 44 kg
Irrigation

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.
