Tomato Farming: Barabanki farmer Anand Maurya is earning one and a half to two lakh rupees every season by cultivating indigenous tomato varieties. Low cost, easy methods and continuous yield for 3–4 months have made tomato a profitable crop for farmers. The process from nursery to sale is simple.
In today’s time, vegetable cultivation is becoming a better source of profit for farmers. This is the reason why farmers are now moving away from traditional crops and adopting vegetable cultivation on a large scale. Among these, tomato is such a crop whose demand remains throughout the year. Once applied, it provides continuous yield for 3 to 4 months and also gives good profits at low cost.
The process of tomato cultivation is also simple. First of all the nursery is prepared. After this, the field is deeply plowed and cowdung manure, organic fertilizer and Jeevamrit are sprayed. Then the plants are planted at proper distance on the ridges and irrigation is done immediately. Harvesting of fruits starts approximately two months after planting, and farmers earn good income by selling them in the market every day.
