Tomato Farming Questions
What is the best fungicide for early blight in tomato?
Mancozeb 75% WP (2 g/L) is the first line of defence for early blight. For resistant strains, use Azoxystrobin + Difenconazole or Propiconazole. Spray preventively every 10–12 days during humid weather.
How to prevent leaf curl virus in tomato?
Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus (TYLCV) is transmitted by whitefly. Control whitefly early with Imidacloprid or Thiamethoxam, use virus-resistant varieties, install sticky yellow traps, and remove infected plants immediately.

For hybrid tomato: 200 kg N + 100 kg P₂O₅ + 150 kg K₂O per hectare. Split N into 6 applications via drip, apply P and K as basal. Supplement with Calcium nitrate and micro-nutrients at flowering.
