  • Tomato
  • Tomato is a warm season plant that can be grown throughout the year. Its cultivation is relatively easy.
  • It can be grown in all seasons except areas that face heavy frost. The plant grows well in light, well drained soil rich in Organic matter. The seedlings require transplantation. Once the seeds are sown and the seedlings are 3-4 weeks old then they should be transplanted at a distance of 50 cm X 60 cm) between plants as well rows.
  • 3-4 days prior to transplanting, reduce the watering to ensure better survival and establishment of seedlings. Once the plant grows tall, staking by means of a wooden stick may be required to keep the plant upright, as during the fruit bearing stage the plants tend to drop due to the weight. Tomatoes are harvested after 80-85 days of sowing and continue well upto Six months thereafter.
  • Tomatoes can be grown in pots too. Prepare the seedlings in small poly bags or cane baskets and transplant into a 9 pot after 3-4 weeks. You can directly sow into pots too if space is a problem. Sow the seeds and keep in semi-shade till germination, gradually expose to sun over a period of one week and then always keep in sunlight. The fruits can be plucked by twisting the fruit.
