Tomato Naati Seeds - Naati/Desi - - Pack of 60 Seeds
Gardening
"Naati" tomatoes refer to indigenous, heirloom, or local varieties of tomatoes typically grown in India. These tomatoes are often smaller, more robust in flavor, and are preferred in traditional Indian cooking for their slightly acidic and tangy taste. They are different from hybrid or commercial varieties, which tend to prioritize yield, size, and disease resistance.
Soil Preparation:
Soil Type:
Loamy, well-draining soil rich in organic matter is ideal.
pH:
Naati tomatoes prefer a soil pH of around 6.0-6.8 (slightly acidic to neutral).
Amendments :
Mix compost or organic manure into the soil to provide necessary nutrients.
Sowing :
Seed Starting:
Start the seeds indoors in seed trays about 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost if growing in colder climates. For warmer regions, sow directly into the soil.
Depth:
Plant seeds about 1 cm (½ inch) deep.
Spacing:
Space the seeds about 30-45 cm (12-18 inches) apart to allow the plants room to grow.
Transplanting:
Transplant the seedlings when they are about 6-8 inches tall and have a few sets of true leaves.
Sunlight and Temperature:
Naati tomatoes need 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
Ideal growing temperatures are between 18-27°C (65-80°F).
Watering :
Water regularly but avoid overwatering. Tomatoes prefer consistent moisture but don't like soggy soil. Water at the base of the plant to avoid wetting the foliage, which can lead to fungal diseases.
Support :
Provide support with stakes, cages, or trellises to keep the tomato plants upright and prevent the fruit from touching the ground.
Pest and Disease Management:
Naati tomatoes are generally more resilient to local pests and diseases, but they still require care. Keep an eye out for common issues like aphids, whiteflies, and fungal diseases. Use organic pesticides or neem oil to control pests if necessary.
Harvesting :
Naati tomatoes are typically ready for harvest about 60-85 days after transplanting. Pick them when they are fully ripe, red, and slightly firm.
No of seeds per pkt : 60
Germination Rate: 70%
