Handling cigarettes and other infused tobacco products can transmit the virus to other tomato plants. Leaves with a purple coloration may indicate a phosphorus deficiency, and yellow colour leaves may indicate nitrogen deficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany of the problems can be controlled by using various pesticides and fungicides and also by crop rotation. Baking soda and compost tea have fungicidal properties that can stop, resist or reduce the spread of early and late blight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough there are no such diseases, fertilize them with complete soluble organic fertilizer if tomato leaves become yellow and purple. The pesticides, fungicides and even various fertilizers can be purchased from online stores such as. The production rate and quality of fruit are based on the nutrients the plants get. So, the plant should be fertilized correctly and in the required quantity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCloser spacing of plants produces higher yields than wide spacing, but too-close spacing will make air circulation diseases. Closer plantation of Tomato reduces air circulation, lower light penetration thus reduces the production rate and results in conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood drainage, sufficient light (can be given artificially), and aeration are essential for tomato seeds. If a fluorescent light is used for lighting, keep the seedlings 2 to 4 inches below the lamps; otherwise, the seeds will become saggy. Soggy soil may cause tomato seeds to rot. Insufficient light can lead to weak and spindle plants. Controlling humidity, cleaning up old plant debris, removing weeds, controlling insects, and overhead watering can help prevent all these diseases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOther Names\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBotanical name: Solanum lycopersicum L.\u003cbr\u003eOrganic Desi Tomato name in Tamil: தக்காளி (Takkāḷi)\u003cbr\u003eOrganic Desi Tomato name in Malayalam: തക്കാളി (Takkāḷi)\u003cbr\u003eOrganic Desi Tomato name in Kannada: ಟೊಮೇಟೊ (Ṭomēṭo)\u003cbr\u003eOrganic Desi Tomato name in Telugu: టమాట (Tomāṭa)\u003cbr\u003eOrganic Desi Tomato name in Marathi: टोमॅटो (Ṭomǎṭo)\u003cbr\u003eOrganic Desi Tomato name in Hindi: टमाटर (Tamāṭar)\u003cbr\u003eOrganic Desi Tomato name in Bengali: টমেটো (Ṭomeṭo)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo. of Tomato Seeds in a packet - 100+\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seed2Plants.in","offers":[{"title":"Pack of 1","offer_id":55217118708017,"sku":"Tomato-1","price":79.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pack of 2","offer_id":55217118740785,"sku":"Tomato-2","price":129.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pack of 5","offer_id":55217118773553,"sku":"Tomato-5","price":245.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pack of 10","offer_id":55217118806321,"sku":"Tomato-10","price":490.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 Grams","offer_id":55217118839089,"sku":"Tomato-500G","price":799.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 KG","offer_id":55217118871857,"sku":"Tomato-1KG","price":1499.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/6638\/6737\/files\/OrganicTomatoSeeds-OpenPollinated-Seed2Plants-1.png?v=1783761415","url":"https:\/\/seed2plants.in\/products\/organic-tomato-seeds","provider":"Seed2Plants.in","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
