Fertilizers & Manures

Type	Quantity / Notes	Additional Info
FYM	20–25 t/ha before last ploughing
Nitrogen (N)	200 kg/ha	1/3 as basal dose at transplanting; remaining in two splits at 30 and 60 days.
Phosphorus (P₂O₅)	250 kg/ha	Entire amount as basal dose
Potassium (K₂O)	250 kg/ha	Entire amount as basal dose
Special Cases: Sandy soil: Apply N in three splits with P & K. 2nd split before active growth, 3rd at first flower set. Reduce N under high fertility to avoid poor fruit set.

Irrigation

Drip irrigation once every 3 days

Weed Control

Regular manual weeding

Special Crop Practices

Support plants with stakes or trellises; start ~30 days after transplanting

Harvesting

Maturity: 60–64 DAP; harvest regularly at 2–3 day intervals

Yield

60–65 t/ha

Disorder / Symptom	Description & Control
Blossom-End Rot (BER)	A dark, leathery, sunken area at the blossom end (opposite the stem) of the fruit. It usually starts as a small, water-soaked spot. * Maintain consistent soil moisture: Water regularly and deeply, especially during fruit development. Mulching can help conserve moisture. * Soil testing: If the soil is deficient, incorporate calcium-rich amendments like gypsum or lime before planting. * Avoid excessive nitrogen fertilization: This can promote vegetative growth at the expense of fruit development and calcium uptake Control: Application of CN @ 15-20 Kg/Ha or spraying of Anhydrous Ca EDTA @0.5-1 gm /ltr
Fruit Cracking / Splitting	Splits or cracks on the fruit surface, usually radial (extending from the stem end) or concentric (circular around the stem end). Maintain consistent soil moisture: Regular and even watering is crucial. Mulching: Helps regulate soil moisture and temperature. Avoid excessive nitrogen fertilization: Use a balanced fertilizer. * Harvest fruits at the mature green or breaker stage: Ripe fruits are more susceptible to cracking Irrigation management
Blotchy Ripening (Cloudy Spot / Gray Wall)	Uneven ripening with blotches of green, yellow, or red on the fruit surface. Internal discoloration and hard, grayish areas may also be present. Ensure adequate light exposure. Maintain balanced fertilization. Control: Use resistant varieties, control vectors (aphids), and practice good sanitation. Avoid root damage during cultivation
Yellow Shoulder (Green Shoulder)	The shoulder area (near the stem) of the ripening fruit remains yellow or greenish-yellow and hard, even when the rest of the fruit turns red. Choose less susceptible varieties. Provide some shade during the hottest part of the day. Ensure adequate potassium nutrition.
Cat’s Face	Mishappen fruits with enlarged scars and holes in the blossom end of the fruit caused by cool and abnormal temperature , disturbance to flowers , herbicide exposure Control: Avoid cool seasons and maintain adequate soil moisture.
Sun Scald	Whitish shiny blisters on the fruit which results in a sunken area that may become pale yellowish and wrinkled causes heavy pruning escepcially when the foliage cover is low or loss of foliage due to disease and coupled with high temperature Control: Carefull pruning and harvesting, good foliage disease control
