Azamgarh: Tomato is a vegetable whose demand remains in the market for 12 months. Consumption of tomatoes increases significantly during the wedding season. Tomato is used the most from making salads to chutneys. This is the reason why the prices of tomatoes in temples become very high during the wedding season. In such a situation, commercial cultivation of tomato can become a great opportunity for profit for the farmers. Although the months of July to September are considered most favorable for tomato cultivation, but if farmers wish, they can cultivate it in the month of November also.
Seeds and equipment are necessary
Farmer Manohar Singh, who does commercial tomato cultivation, says that to cultivate tomatoes in the month of November, it is necessary to first treat the seeds. There are many types of medicines available in the market for seed treatment, using which seeds can be prepared. This reduces the problem of diseases in plants. If you use hybrid seeds of tomato, then about 200 grams of seeds are required for sowing tomatoes in 1 hectare field, whereas for the normal variety, about 700 grams of seeds are required.
After preparing seeds and equipment, it is very important to prepare the soil of the field properly before sowing. For this, it is necessary to make beds by deep plowing the soil of the field 2 to 3 times. After this, mix rotten cow dung and vermicompost and spray it in the field. For this, the distance from line to line should be about 60 centimeters and the distance from seed to seed should be kept about 40 to 45 centimeters.
