Agronomy

Flexible Agronomy	Suitability of the variety for the Area Agro Climatic Zone All over MH & KA, AP,TN, UP, GJ, MP, CG, WB, RJ Selection of the field/land preparation practices Field should be well prepared free from weeds and well drainage facility. 1-2 deep ploughing, Soil should be exposed to sunlight, 3 to 4 rounds of harrows to reach fine tilt. Before final harrow, apply 8 to 10 MT well decomposed FYM/acre along with 250 gm Trichoderma for controlling soil born fungus. Seed Treatment-rate of timing/ chemical Seeds are treated with Carbendazim 2g + Thiram 2 g per Kg of seeds. Sowing Time Rabi, Summer, Rainy Seed Rate/ Sowing method- line sowing with row to row and plant to plant distance/ direct sowing Seed Rate: 40-50 g per acre. Sowing: Prepare the raised bed of 180x90x15cm, for 1acre 10 to 12 beds are required. Nursery should be free from weeds and debris. Line sowing is recommended. Distance between two row: 8-10 cm (4 fingers) apart, Distance between seed to seeds : 3-4 cm ( 2 fingers), Seeds are sown in line at 0.5-1.0 cm deep Transplanting: Transplanting should be done @ 21-25 days after sowing. Spacing: Row to Row and Plant to Plant - 120 x 45 or 90 x 45 cm Fertilizer dose with timing Total N:P:K requirement @ 100:150:150 kg per acre. Dose & Timing: Basal Dose: Apply 33% N and 50% P, K as basal dose during final land preparation. Top Dressing: 33% N and remaining P, K at 30 days after transplanting and 34% N at 50 days after transplanting. Weed Control- Chemicals with doses and timing Timely weed removal is very important, need based hand weeding can be done to ensure healthy crop. Diseases & Pest control- Chemicals with doses and timing For effective crop control use following Insect and disease solution Powdery Mildew and Late Blight- Apply Amistar (200ml/acre), Alternaria/Anthracnose - Apply Blue Copper @ 600g/acre, Alternaria - Apply Kuman L @ 600 ml/acre and for any other diseases apply fungicide as per recommendation from the Department of Agriculture (plant protection). Aphid+Jassid+White Fly - Apply Actara @ 40g/acre, Fruit Borer - Apply Matador @ 120 ml/acre and for any other Insects apply recommended insecticides. Irrigation Schedule Irrigation Frequency Depends upon - A. Soil type: Light soils need more frequency. Heavy soils needs less frequency. B. Crop stage: Vegetative stage: maintain adequate moisture for development of roots. Flowering & fruiting - frequent and shallow irrigation. Harvesting - gradually reduce irrigation during harvesting C. Growing season: Summer - requires frequent irrigation. Winter- As against summer season, in winter the irrigation frequency is longer. Rainy - very less frequency depending up on soil moisture" Harvesting Harvest the fruit at the time of physiological maturity. It starts maturing by 65 -70 days after transplanting- depending on season / climate. Picking is done generally at an interval of 4-5 days. Depending on type of market / distance -tomato are picked. Expected Yield of the variety Average yield: 25-30 MT/acre ( depending on season and cultural practice)
