Although tomatoes can be grown throughout the year, a definite increase in yield can be seen by considering the temperature of the crop. Seed germination and plant growth 16 ते C to 29 सें C. The temperature was good. 18 ते C to 32 ग C for fruiting. The temperature is very useful. Temperature 32 degrees Celsius Going up has an adverse effect on fruit set.

Land
Tomatoes can be grown in light to heavy soils. Generally in light loamy soils the crop is early and in heavy soils it is late. It does well in medium to well drained soils or well drained soils. Ground level should be between 6 and 7.5. Eggplant and chilli should not have been grown in the soil where the tomato crop is to be grown in the previous season as it increases the risk of pests and diseases.

Nursery
Generally 400 gms of tomato for straight variety and 125 gms per hectare for hybrid variety is sufficient. To make nursery 3 meters long, 1 meter wide and 15 cm. I Make a mattress of this size. The steam should be well mixed and the stones should be removed and the waste should be removed. In each steam, mix one gram of well decomposed cow dung, 50 g of copper oxychloride and 100-150 g of sufla and flatten the steam. Lines should be drawn parallel to the width of the waffle at a distance of four fingers. The lines should not be too deep. Sow the seeds thinly in such rows and lightly cover the seeds with soil. Wafya should be watered with a sieve till the seed germinates. After that water the tomato seedlings ready for planting in 3 to 5 weeks depending on the season. Slowly reduce watering 4 to 5 days before planting and give enough water to the waffles on the day before planting.
1) After sowing of seeds apply 60-100 mesh nylon net or white thin cloth like mosquito net up to 2 m height. This will help control the spread of the disease.
2) Carbendazim fungicide should be mixed with 1 gm per liter of water in two rows of seedlings on the mattress.
3) For control of sap-sucking insects, 3% carbofuran 35 to 50 gm or 10% ferrate 10 to 20 gm per 10 sq. M. I Divide this quantity into two rows and give light water.
4) Mancozeb or Captan 20 gm plus dimethoate 30 EC for control of diseases / pests in nursery. At the rate of 10 ml per 10 liters of water, spray 2-3 times alternately every 10 days after germination.
5) Seedling process: Imidacloprid 17.8 SL before transplanting. Mix 5 ml more Mancozeb 20 gm per 10 liters of water and soak the roots of the seedlings in this solution for 10-15 minutes.

Planting spacing
The spacing of tomatoes is generally 75 to 90 cm for small to medium spreading varieties. I Sowing and planting 30 to 40 cm. I Should be done on. 90 cm for higher growing and more spreading varieties. I Remove the sari and apply 30 cm. Should be planted on. Thus, planting should be done in June-July for kharif season, October-November for rabi season and January, February for summer season.

Use of fertilizers
Apply balanced amount of fertilizer after examining the soil. The tomato crop responds well to chemical as well as organic fertilizers. While preparing the area for cultivation, well decomposed manure should be mixed in 20 tons per hectare. In chemical fertilizers apply 200 kg nitrogen, 100 kg phosphorus and 100 kg potash per hectare for straight varieties and 300: 150: 150 kg nitrogen phosphorus per hectare for hybrid varieties.
