| Sowing Time |
August-October and January-February |
| Raising of seedlings |
Raised nursery beds should be prepared with height of 10-15 cm width of 1 m and of convenient length/li>
Drench with 4% formaldehyde or 0.3% copper oxychloride to kill the pathogenic spores in the soil.
Solarization of nursery bed with white polythene sheet also check the nematode infection and weed growth
Two parts of fine red earth, one part of sand and one part of FYM can be incorporated to each bed to improve aerationand fertility of the soil
Lines are made on the nursery beds at 10-15 cm distance and line sowing is practiced.
After sowing the seeds are covered with fine sand or powdered FYM
Nursery beds are covered with paddy straw and irrigation is given with rose can.
|
| Field Preparation |
| Ploughing |
Deeply plough the field 2-3 times to achieve a fine, loose tilth, ensuring good aeration and drainage. |
| Soil |
Ideal is well-drained, loamy, or sandy loam soil with a pH of 6.5-7.5. |
| Drainage |
Create raised beds (20-30 cm high) or ridges (20-30 cm high) to prevent waterlogging |
| Seed Treatment |
Thiram@2.0 gram/kg of seed before sowing |
| Spacing |
- Row to Row 75-80 cm and Plant to Plant 45-50 cm
|
| Seed Rate |
200-250 g/ha. |
| Manure and Fertilizer |
| FYM |
Apply 20-25 tonnes of Farmyard Manure (FYM) /hectare 10-15 days before sowing, mixing it well with the soil. |
| Basal Fertilizer Dose |
- 180;100;100 kg NPK/ hectare
- Apply 1/4 N along with other fertilizers as basal application and the remaining N should be top dressed in three split doses at 30 days interval after transplanting.
|
| Irrigation |
- Excessive irrigation induces the plant to vine and dropping off the blossoms.
- During summer season, irrigation at every 3 to 4 days intervalis necessary, whereas for winter and spring season crop 10 to15 days interval is sufficient.
- Irrigation at flowering and fruiting stage is imperative for higher quality yields.
|
| Interculture operation |
- Two hoeing in the first and third fortnights after transplanting will keep down the weeds.
- Application of Lasso 2.0 lit/ha plus one hand weeding results in controlling weeds from the initial stage of crop growth andyield.
- Metribuzin (Sencor) 0.5 kg/ha or alachlor 2.3 kg/ha plus one hand weeding proved most effective.
- Treflan (Trifluralin) at the rate of 25 kg/ha was effective in controlling the weeds of tomato for about two-and-a-half months.

| Physiological Disorder |
Blossom-end rot
- Brown discoloration appears at the blossom-end. The spots enlarge and cover up to the considerable area of the fruit. It is reported that calcium deficiency leads to blossom-end rot. Spray calcium chloride (0.5%) at the time of fruit development.
Fruit cracking
- Fruits develop crack either radial or concentric type. Deficiencyof boron. Spray borax at 0.3 to 0.4 per cent on tomato seedlings in nursery just before transplanting and repeat the spray 3 to 5
weeks after transplanting and the third spray may be done after the same interval if needed.
Sun scalding
- This disorder is due to the exposure of fruits to the intensesunlight. Affected fruits show yellow patches on the fruits.Patches enlarge and tissues are damaged and shrink. Avoid wider plant spacing. A void turning over the plants at the timeof harvesting of fruits.
Puffiness
- The affected fruits are light in weight and feel soft. Sometimes, surface of fruit is flattened and locular cavities are large and partially filled with pulp and seeds. High soil moisture and more nitrogen may result in more puffy fruits. Always avoid overwatering of the tomato crop. Apply Jess nitrogen during short days and low light intensity than when grown under long days and high light intensity.
Cat face
- The damaged fruits are distinguished by the distortion of the blossom end rot and have ridges, furrows, indentations and blotches. Provide normal growing conditions.

| Physiological Disorder |
Blossom-end rot
- Brown discoloration appears at the blossom-end. The spots enlarge and cover up to the considerable area of the fruit. It is reported that calcium deficiency leads to blossom-end rot. Spray calcium chloride (0.5%) at the time of fruit development.
Fruit cracking
- Fruits develop crack either radial or concentric type. Deficiencyof boron. Spray borax at 0.3 to 0.4 per cent on tomato seedlings in nursery just before transplanting and repeat the spray 3 to 5
weeks after transplanting and the third spray may be done after the same interval if needed.
Sun scalding
- This disorder is due to the exposure of fruits to the intensesunlight. Affected fruits show yellow patches on the fruits.Patches enlarge and tissues are damaged and shrink. Avoid wider plant spacing. A void turning over the plants at the timeof harvesting of fruits.
Puffiness
- The affected fruits are light in weight and feel soft. Sometimes, surface of fruit is flattened and locular cavities are large and partially filled with pulp and seeds. High soil moisture and more nitrogen may result in more puffy fruits. Always avoid overwatering of the tomato crop. Apply Jess nitrogen during short days and low light intensity than when grown under long days and high light intensity.
Cat face
- The damaged fruits are distinguished by the distortion of the blossom end rot and have ridges, furrows, indentations and blotches. Provide normal growing conditions.

| Sowing Time |
August-October |
| Raising of seedlings |
Raised nursery beds should be prepared with height of 10-15 cm width of 1 m and of convenient length/li>
Drench with 4% formaldehyde or 0.3% copper oxychloride to kill the pathogenic spores in the soil.
Solarization of nursery bed with white polythene sheet also check the nematode infection and weed growth
Two parts of fine red earth, one part of sand and one part of FYM can be incorporated to each bed to improve aerationand fertility of the soil
Lines are made on the nursery beds at 10-15 cm distance and line sowing is practiced.
After sowing the seeds are covered with fine sand or powdered FYM
Nursery beds are covered with paddy straw and irrigation is given with rose can.
|
| Field Preparation |
| Ploughing |
Deeply plough the field 2-3 times to achieve a fine, loose tilth, ensuring good aeration and drainage. |
| Soil |
Ideal is well-drained, loamy, or sandy loam soil with a pH of 6.5-7.5. |
| Drainage |
Create raised beds (20-30 cm high) or ridges (20-30 cm high) to prevent waterlogging |
| Seed Treatment |
Thiram@2.0 gram/kg of seed before sowing |
| Spacing |
- Row to Row 75-80 cm and Plant to Plant 45-50 cm
|
| Seed Rate |
200-250 g/ha. |
| Manure and Fertilizer |
| FYM |
Apply 20-25 tonnes of Farmyard Manure (FYM) /hectare 10-15 days before sowing, mixing it well with the soil. |
| Basal Fertilizer Dose |
- 180;100;100 kg NPK/ hectare
- Apply 1/4 N along with other fertilizers as basal application and the remaining N should be top dressed in three split doses at 30 days interval after transplanting.
|
| Irrigation |
- Excessive irrigation induces the plant to vine and dropping off the blossoms.
- During summer season, irrigation at every 3 to 4 days intervalis necessary, whereas for winter and spring season crop 10 to15 days interval is sufficient.
- Irrigation at flowering and fruiting stage is imperative for higher quality yields.
|
| Interculture operation |
- Two hoeing in the first and third fortnights after transplanting will keep down the weeds.
- Application of Lasso 2.0 lit/ha plus one hand weeding results in controlling weeds from the initial stage of crop growth andyield.
- Metribuzin (Sencor) 0.5 kg/ha or alachlor 2.3 kg/ha plus one hand weeding proved most effective.
- Treflan (Trifluralin) at the rate of 25 kg/ha was effective in controlling the weeds of tomato for about two-and-a-half months.

|
| Sowing Time |
August-October |
| Raising of seedlings |
Raised nursery beds should be prepared with height of 10-15 cm width of 1 m and of convenient length/li>
Drench with 4% formaldehyde or 0.3% copper oxychloride to kill the pathogenic spores in the soil.
Solarization of nursery bed with white polythene sheet also check the nematode infection and weed growth
Two parts of fine red earth, one part of sand and one part of FYM can be incorporated to each bed to improve aerationand fertility of the soil
Lines are made on the nursery beds at 10-15 cm distance and line sowing is practiced.
After sowing the seeds are covered with fine sand or powdered FYM
Nursery beds are covered with paddy straw and irrigation is given with rose can.
|
| Field Preparation |
| Ploughing |
Deeply plough the field 2-3 times to achieve a fine, loose tilth, ensuring good aeration and drainage. |
| Soil |
Ideal is well-drained, loamy, or sandy loam soil with a pH of 6.5-7.5. |
| Drainage |
Create raised beds (20-30 cm high) or ridges (20-30 cm high) to prevent waterlogging |
| Seed Treatment |
Thiram@2.0 gram/kg of seed before sowing |
| Spacing |
- Row to Row 75-80 cm and Plant to Plant 45-50 cm
|
| Seed Rate |
200-250 g/ha. |
| Manure and Fertilizer |
| FYM |
Apply 20-25 tonnes of Farmyard Manure (FYM) /hectare 10-15 days before sowing, mixing it well with the soil. |
| Basal Fertilizer Dose |
- 180;100;100 kg NPK/ hectare
- Apply 1/4 N along with other fertilizers as basal application and the remaining N should be top dressed in three split doses at 30 days interval after transplanting.
|
| Irrigation |
- Excessive irrigation induces the plant to vine and dropping off the blossoms.
- During summer season, irrigation at every 3 to 4 days intervalis necessary, whereas for winter and spring season crop 10 to15 days interval is sufficient.
- Irrigation at flowering and fruiting stage is imperative for higher quality yields.
|
| Interculture operation |
- Two hoeing in the first and third fortnights after transplanting will keep down the weeds.
- Application of Lasso 2.0 lit/ha plus one hand weeding results in controlling weeds from the initial stage of crop growth andyield.
- Metribuzin (Sencor) 0.5 kg/ha or alachlor 2.3 kg/ha plus one hand weeding proved most effective.
- Treflan (Trifluralin) at the rate of 25 kg/ha was effective in controlling the weeds of tomato for about two-and-a-half months.

| Physiological Disorder |
Blossom-end rot
- Brown discoloration appears at the blossom-end. The spots enlarge and cover up to the considerable area of the fruit. It is reported that calcium deficiency leads to blossom-end rot. Spray calcium chloride (0.5%) at the time of fruit development.
Fruit cracking
- Fruits develop crack either radial or concentric type. Deficiencyof boron. Spray borax at 0.3 to 0.4 per cent on tomato seedlings in nursery just before transplanting and repeat the spray 3 to 5
weeks after transplanting and the third spray may be done after the same interval if needed.
Sun scalding
- This disorder is due to the exposure of fruits to the intensesunlight. Affected fruits show yellow patches on the fruits.Patches enlarge and tissues are damaged and shrink. Avoid wider plant spacing. A void turning over the plants at the timeof harvesting of fruits.
Puffiness
- The affected fruits are light in weight and feel soft. Sometimes, surface of fruit is flattened and locular cavities are large and partially filled with pulp and seeds. High soil moisture and more nitrogen may result in more puffy fruits. Always avoid overwatering of the tomato crop. Apply Jess nitrogen during short days and low light intensity than when grown under long days and high light intensity.
Cat face
- The damaged fruits are distinguished by the distortion of the blossom end rot and have ridges, furrows, indentations and blotches. Provide normal growing conditions.
