Nursery Preparation and Seed Treatment in Tomato

Tomato seeds are sown on nursery beds for transplanting in the field.
The nursery produces beds size 3 x 0.6 m and a height of 10–15 cm.
a distance of about 70 cm is kept between the two beds to carry out the operation of water, weeding, etc. The surface of the beds should be smooth and well levels.
Treat nursery beds at the rate of FYM 10 kg/acre and DAP @ 1 kg/acre
Raised beds are necessary to avoid the problem of waterlogging in heavy soils.
Pre-sowing seed treatment is also essential. Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% WP @ 3 gram / kg seed or Trichoderma viride @ 1 gram/100 g seed or Thiram 37.5% + Carboxin 37.5% @ 2.5 gram / kg seed rate Seed treatment is necessary.
Chlorothalonil 75% WP @ 30 gram/5 liters or thiamethoxam 25% WG 10 gram / 15 liters as drenching after 7 days of nursery.

It is a somatic disorder that occurs in fruits due to calcium deficiency.
Use FYM in the field before 15 days transplanting.
Spraying Calcium EDTA @ 150 gm/ acre twice if symptoms of deficiency appear. Or
Spraying of Metalaxyl 4% + Mancozeb 64% WP 30 gm and Kasugamycin 3% SL 25 ml per 15 liters of water and On the fourth day, sprayed with chelated calcium 15 gm + Boron 15 gm per 15 liters of water.

Apply FYM before 15 days of transplanting in the main field.
At the time of transplanting, use Calcium Nitrate @ 10 KG/ acre.

Tomato needs a heavy dose of fertilizers for a good yield.
Farmyard manure @ 8-10 tonnes/Acre may be incorporated into the soil one month before transplanting.
DAP 50 kg/Acre, Urea 80 kg/Acre and MOP 33 kg/Acre.
Full amount of DAP, MOP and half of Urea are to be added just before transplanting.
Rest of the Urea is to be given as a second dose at 20-25 days after transplanting, and third dose is given at 45-60 days after transplanting.
Zinc sulphate application (Znso4@10 kg/Acre) and Boron 4 Kg/Acre increases yield as well as improves the quality of fruit.

Root Knot Nematode in Tomato:-

Damage:-

The nematode attacks the roots and produces tiny galls.
The infested plants show symptoms of withering and wilting of leaves.
The block the movement of nutrients and water in the plant system and subjected to wilt and finally leads to death.
Growth of the plant is stunted fruiting capacity adversely affected.
Yellow of the foliage and wilting of the upper leaves occurs.

Control:-

Use resistant varieties.
Do use deep summer ploughing to control root-knot nematode.
Neem cake at the rate 80 Kg/Acre should be applied for effective control.
Carbofuran 3G at the rate 8 kg/acre should be applied as soil treatment.
Paecilomyces lilacinus-1% WP @ 10 g / kg seed for seed treatment, 50 gm / meter sq Nursery Treatment, 2.5 to 5 kg/ Hectare Soil application.
