NOTE: For the first year donot immidietaly substitute 100% chemical fertilizer with the SIESTO GREEN products, as the soil is used to chemical fertilizer, it may affect the output. So the best way to substitute is by reducing 50% of chemical input in the first year, 25% the following 2nd year, & then another 10% by the 3rd year. After the 3rd year use synthetic fertilizer / inorganic fertilizer if their is a requirement depending on the soil health.

NUTRITION DEFICIENCY
| NUTRIENT | IDENTIFICATION | SYMPTOMS | SUGGESTED PRODUCT |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nitrogen |  |
Under N deficiency, older leaves gradually change from green to paler green. As the deficiency progresses these older leaves become uniformly yellow. | Azoss Caps |
| Phosphorus |  |
The symptoms first develop on older leaves showing some necrotic spots, and plants are dwarfed or stunted. Purpling of the stem, petiole, and undersides of the leaves. | PSB Plus Caps |
| Potassium |  |
Some of the young leaves show marginal necrosis (tip burn), and at a more advanced deficiency status show inter-veinal necrosis. | Potash Grow Caps |

Leaves show general overall chlorosis. The veins and petioles show a very distinct reddish color. | Sulphur Caps |
| Manganese |  |
The leaves show light interveinal chlorosis developed under a limited supply of Mn. | Alp |
| Molybdenum |  |
An early symptom is general overall chlorosis, similar to the symptom of N deficiency. | Alp |

KEY FARMING POINTS
KEY FARMING POINTS
- SOIL TYPE = Well-drained, sandy, or red loam soils rich in organic matter with a pH range of 6.0-7.0 are considered ideal.
- SOIL PH = 2 to 6.8
- CLIMATE / TEMPERATURE = Tomato is a warm season crop. Best quality fruit is obtained at a temperature range of 21˚ to 24˚C.
- SEASON OF PLANTING = The best time to plant tomatoes in Southeast Asia depends on your location's climate. Aim for the cool dry season (November to March) for ideal temperatures, humidity, and reduced disease risk. You can also plant during the warm dry season (April-May or June-July) but choose heat-tolerant varieties and provide extra protection from the sun.
- SPACING = 5ft x 1ft
- MANURING & FERTILIZATION = Fertilizer requirements depend on the fertility or quality of the soil.
- WATER MANAGEMENT = Depends on the farmer’s practice.
- HARVESTING DURATION = Depends on the variety, on average harvesting starts in 55 - 60 days.
- YIELD = 30 – 40 tons (Depends on the variety).
NOTE:
- Recommended dosage on this crop schedule can vary depending on soil health, environmental conditions, and pest attacks.
- Add available forms of Phosphorus and Potash depending on the crop and crop varieties before every transplantation.
- Add available forms of calcium and magnesium as per the requirement.
