12. Climatic
Requirements
Of Tomato
Day neutral plant
Optimum temperature requirement
21 - 24 °C
Susceptible towards water logging
Prohibited sowing in extreme low or high
temperature is an issue

13. Soil preference
pH – 6.5 – 7.5
Soil solarization
Sandy loam to medium black soil
Well drained soil
Deep profile

Days to First Harvest : 65-
70 days.
04
Good firmness & Shelf life
06
USP : Fruit size uniformity
over the picking;
Strong plant type
Average Fruit Weight :
80-85 gm

16. Nursery
Raising
01
Protected
Nursery
02
Open
Nursery
Add sieved FYM and fine sand
on the seedbed.
Raised beds are necessary to
avoid problem of water
logging in heavy soils.
To avoid mortality of seedlings
due to damping off, drench
the seed bed first with water
and then with Bavistin (15-20
g/10 litres of water).

18. Organic Mulch & Inorganic Mulch
VS
Low cost
Increased organic matter in soil
Recycling
Bulky
Attack of insects
Less durability
Permanent
No insect attraction
Concise
Costly
Not recyclable
No such nutrient addition to soil

19. IRRIGATION
Tomato is very sensitive to water application.
Irrigation intervals should be according to soil type and rainfall, irrigation
should be given 7-8 days interval during kharif, during rabi 10-12 days and 5-
6 days during summer.
Flowering and fruit development are the critical stages of tomato
therefore; water stress should not be given during this period.

23. Staking
Staking facilitates intercultural
operations and helps in maintaining the
quality of the fruits.
It is done 2-3 weeks after
transplanting.
Staking can be done either by wooden
stakes or laying overhead wires to which
individual plant is tied.
In case of indeterminate types, two or
three wires are stretched parallel to each
other along the row and plants are tied
to these wires.

Seed treatment with Pseudomonas fluorescens @ 10g/kg of seeds.
Nursery application with Trichoderma viride and Pseudomonas
fluorescens and Selection of good and virus disease free
seedlings for planting.
Application of Neem cake @ 250kg/ha
Roguing out of virus infected plants upto 45 days of
transplanting Grow marigold as a border crop
.
Install yellow sticky traps. Spraying Neem
formulations (1%) / Neem seed kernel extract (5%)

Disease
•Removal and burning of diseased crop debris
•For viral diseases Vector control with dimethoate or methyl
demeton at 10 days interval.
•Maintain proper vigour of the plant
•Use of disease free seed.
•Intercropping of marigold with tomato reduces nematode
Integration of three summer ploughings or use of treated nursery
with spot application of carbofuran @1 kg a.i/ha
•All collateral hosts in the vicinity should be destroyed before
planting new crop.
•Soil solarization.

26. Weed
Control
Apply Pendimethalin 1.0 kg
a.i./ha or Fluchloralin 1.0 kg a.i /
ha as pre-emergence herbicide.
Follow it by hand weeding once
at 30 days after planting.
