Soil	Well drained sandy loam
pH	6.2 - 7.0
Temperature (°C)	18°C to 32°C
Plant Population (Per Acre)	6,000-11,000
Spacing (cm)	120 x 60/ 60 x 60
Land preparation	The field should be well prepared free from weeds and well drainage facility. Deep Ploughing : Plough the land to a depth of 60 cm to improve drainage and soil aeration Leveling : Ensure the land is properly leveled for even irrigation and planting SubSoiling : Break up compacted soil layers with subsoiling to improve root penetration Fine Tilth : Aim for a fine tilth by repeated ploughing and harrowing Organic Matter : incorporate well decomposed cow dung or compost into the soil to improve fertility and structure
Market Segment	Summer Saladette
Sowing Season	Post Rainy & Summer
Best Practices	For this Hybrid : Need to give 25 % Extra Pottash, Boron, Calcium in regular intervals during fruit setting period to till Harvesting periods than the recomended Fertilizer dose Bed Preparation : Consider planting on raised beds, especially in areas with poor drainage, to facilitate cultivation, irrigation,and improve drainage which minimizes root diseases Ridges and Furrows : Form ridges and furrows at a spacing of 60 cm for efficient irrigation and planting Mulching : Mulch with plastic sheets or straw to suppress weeds and maintain soil temperature, Mulching helps regulate soil temperature, which is crucial for tomato growth particularly during hot summers
Irrigation	Tomato typically need 1-1.5 inches of water per week, Depending On : Climate : Hotter, drier climate require more water Soil Type : Sandy soil drain faster and need more frequent watering while clay soils retain moisture longer Growth Stage - Seedling stage : Light, frequent watering to establish roots. Vegetative stage : Moderate watering to support leaf and stem growth Flowering and Fruiting Stage : Consistent moisture is critical to prevent bloosen-end rot and cracking
Nutrient Management (N:P:K)	Providing the right nutrients at the rite time to support healthy growth and fruit development Important Nutrients : Nitrogen: Needed for strong seedlings and plant development,especially before flowering stages Phosphorus: Needed early on for good root growth and flowering Potassium: Needed in Larger quantities than nitrogen for better fruit size development Calcium & Boron : Needed in large quantities especially during flowering ,fruit development, and up to harvest N:P:K = 100:120: 120 Kg / Acre Basal Application: 50% of recomended P & K along with 1/3 of nitrogen during soil preparation or at planting Top Dressing: Apply remaining nitrogen in 2-3 split doses i) First Dose - 20-25 DAT ii) Second Dose - During Flowering/Fruit set iii) Third Dose - During Fruit Development / harvest intervals
Harvesting	Harvesting at " breaker" or "turning (Blushing with 30-40% color) offers a balance of flavor,color,and reduced risk of damage Maturity Indices for Tomato : Mature Green: Firm, Green tomatos are suitable for long distance transport and storage. Turning Pink/Breaker Stage: Indicates same color development, suitable for fresh market or local consumption. Red Ripe: Full color development suitable for processing or seed production.
