Once the tomatoes are taken out of the sorting canal they must be dried and carefully placed in a container, ready for dispatch to their final destination. The abnormalities described below are not caused by insects or diseases but mostly by nutritional deficiencies and unfavourable climatic conditions. Seed germination does not occur in soil temperature below 10oC or beyond 35oC. The first symptoms in infected plants are wilting of terminal leaves, followed in 2-3 days by a sudden and permanent wilt, but there is no yellowing. %PDF-1.7 The area, production and average yield of tomatoes in Pakistan is given in Table-3. Verticillium wilt (Verticillium albo-atrum). To obtain a potential yield, high yielding varieties and improved production technology have to be adopted. In India, according to Indiastat, are under Tomato cultivation is 814000 ha during 2018 – 19 and the production is 20515000 MT (metric tons). However, more than a quarter of those 159 million tonnes are grown for the processing industry, which makes tomatoes the world’s leading vegetable for processing. Sometimes small lumps can be found on the stem or on leaves, causing leaves to turn yellow and wilt. The part of the fruit that is most exposed to the sun rots first. The optimum range for germination occurs between mean soil temperatures of 15.5oC and 29oC. Yields decrease considerably after short periods of water deficiency. Tomatoes contribute to a healthy, well-balanced diet. It is important to keep the field weed free for 4-5 weeks after transplanting. is one of the most important vegetables worldwide. It is during this period that weed competition must be suppressed to avoid reduction in yield. 0.9% Ranked 16th. Te annual vegetable production of Pakistan is about 10 million tons which adds almost $170 million in national economy. It is spread via seed, wind, rain and infected plant remains. The colour inside is still green. Pakistan. Protected culture technology should be introduced on large scale so as to supply the produce during scarcity period. As expected, hybrid pepper and tomato yields under The data since 1999-00 are as follows.

Five to six ploughings will be needed to prepare a good seed bed. Remaining half of Nitrogen and Potash should be applied 6-8 weeks after transplanting. The lowest export figures in 2006/07 and 2007/08 are attributed to bad crop harvest and rendering exports un-economical. Fruit gets brown spots and the leaves wilt. Even if tomatoes are just being sold at the farm gate, they will require some form of packaging, which can be a simple traditional basket. Remove and burn affected plants and plant debris. Hilling the soil towards the plant row (earthing-up) helps to smother small weeds in the row and tomato plants develop roots further up the stem. Measures that can prevent late blight: CMV causes stunting in tomato plants. Control of the vector is important to prevent CMV epidemics: TYLCV occurs worldwide. Yearly exports are given in Table 1. Tomatoes are picked when ripe and stored for a few days in a cool room, after which they transported to distant markets. For better results, full quantity of Phosphorus and half of Nitrogen and Potash should be applied before transplanting of seedlings. In the hot-wet season, production shifts from lowlands to the relatively cooler and dryer highlands. As it is a relatively short duration crop and gives a high yield, it is economically attractive and the area under cultivation is increasing.
