Hybrid Tomato NS 538 : Ensure Home Cultivation Experience

Tomato NS 538 Swaraksha is an early-maturing determinate hybrid tomato variety. It is a square-round fruit shape, with each fruit weighing about 80-90 grams. This bacterial wilt-tolerant hybrid exhibits high yields and resistance to Tomato Leaf Curl Virus, making it a reliable choice for tomato cultivation.

Sowing

Soaking tomato seeds before planting can enhance germination. To enhance seed health, Trichoderma viride fungal culture is applied before sowing, and the seeds are sown in lines with a spacing of 10-15 cm, at a depth of 2-3 cm, and lightly covered with soil, followed by gentle watering.

Growing

Grow tomatoes from seeds indoors between late February and mid-March for greenhouse cultivation, or late March to early April for outdoor planting. Use a small pot filled with seed compost, water well, and sow three or four seeds on the surface. Maintain a germination temperature of 21 to 27℃ (70 to 80℉) in a warm, dark place until seedlings appear in 10 to 14 days.

Health Benefits

Tomatoes offer a range of health benefits due to their rich nutrient profile. They are excellent sources of vitamins, particularly vitamin C, potassium, and folate. Additionally, tomatoes contain antioxidants, such as lycopene, which may contribute to various health advantages, including reduced risk of certain diseases and support for heart health.
