Abstract

Arka Rakshak tomato seed variety was promoted under the Farmer FIRST Programme as an alternative to local varieties among the farmers in the Kasdol block of Chhattisgarh to overcome the challenges faced by the tomato cultivators such as pest and disease attack, low quality, lack of scientific production, and lack of resources and technical know-how. Increased yield with an initial yield potential of 75-80 t/ha was recorded after the use of the disease-resistant variety with better quality fruits suitable for distant marketing.
