Specifications of Regular Tomato Seeds

Regular tomatoes, classified as desi vegetable seeds, are cultivated for their flavorful, nutritious fruits.

Planting and Care for Regular Tomatoes

  • Sowing Regular Tomato Seeds: Plant seeds in moist soil inside a suitable container or grow bag, ensuring they are placed about 1/4 inch deep. Pre-soaking seeds overnight in warm water can help accelerate germination.
  • Growing Regular Tomatoes: Requires warm conditions and consistent moisture. Ensure soil remains moist but not waterlogged to avoid issues like cracked fruit and leaf blisters. Protect seedlings from direct sunlight until they germinate.

Precautions for Growing Regular Tomatoes

  • Vigilance against common pests and diseases such as early blight, fusarium wilt, and tomato hornworms is essential. Use appropriate organic pesticides and fungicides as needed.
  • Maintain good soil drainage, adequate light, and air circulation. Supplement light with artificial sources if necessary, positioning seedlings properly to prevent leggy growth.
