Success story of farmer Revanand Nikaju
The farmer Revanand Nikaju of Chhindwara district of Madhya Pradesh told that tomato is such a vegetable. Which is grown only in hot climate but it is cultivated mostly in cold weather. For its successful production, its temperature is considered to be 21 to 23 degrees favorable. But if we talk about its commercial level, then its successful production for it is from 18 to 27 degree temperature. This is a vegetable that has a greater ability to withstand drought.
The success story of farmer Revanand Nikaju If we irrigate the crop immediately after a lot of drought, due to the sudden release of water, its fruit starts to burst slowly and its flower trunk starts to melt. The germination of seeds decreases when its temperature is high or at once.
Due to which the growth of the crop decreases and the fruit starts to fall weakly and scorches. The mild climate of the plains of North India is considered appropriate for germination, plant growth, fruit formation, fruit development and ripening. But due to excess rain, there is a problem of flower loss. Due to which there is a huge reduction in its yield. This crop ripens well in places with good sunlight.
Seed sowing in nursery
Its seeds (Tomato farming) are not sown directly in the field and are sown in the nursery first, when the plants grow to 4 to 5 weeks i.e. 10 to 15 centimeters, they are transplanted to the field. Nursery preparation 10 to 15 cm raised beds should be made for tomato nursery so that the bed does not hold excess water. The beds should not be more than 90 to 100 centimeters (one yard or one meter) wide in any case, otherwise weeding, seed sowing or irrigation may be inconvenient.

Their length should be 5 meters, 25 such beds are required for one acre. Before sowing the seeds, sow 8 to 10 grams of carbofuran at the rate of 3 grams per square meter and mixed with 2 grams of ketan per kilogram of seeds. Seeds are sown in rows at 5 to 7 cm distance. As soon as the seeds germinate, treat the beds with a 0.2% solution of the Captain, irrigate the nursery with a plant fountain.
Climate for tomato
Tomato farming can be done throughout the year. But this crop cannot tolerate excessive moisture and frost. Temperatures between 18 ° to 27 ° C are suitable for this. The ideal night temperature should be between 15 degree to 20 degree centigrade to bear fruit. The color and taste of fruits are adversely affected in excess heat. After adding 5 trolley dung compost and mix it with the rotavator.
After that, at a distance of 5 from the riser, make beds of 1.5 feet and drop them. Ropa is ready in 25 days. Drip 4 hours before planting and make moisture in the ground. After that, in the evening, plant 1 × 1 on both sides of the drip line on the bed. After planting saplings, copper oxychloride 2 g + Chlorpyriphos 3 ml / liter is dissolved in water and drained. Which gives relief from diseases caused by the land.
Earning from tomato
Tomato farming started with plantation from 50. Our tomato production was 3000 carats on 2 acres from August to February. Which was close to 60000 kg. Which earned Rs. 4,80,000 on an average price of Rs. 8 per kg. In which, out of the cost of 15000 rupees, two thirty three thousand rupees have been obtained from the net profit.
