A. Nursery

1. Seedling Media
The seedling medium used is a mixture of top soil and fine manure and roasted husks with a ratio of 2: 1: 1
2. Seedling tools/places
Place the seedlings on a bamboo table that is given a plastic shade or on a plastic seedling tray.
3. How to seed
 Before sowing the seeds, the seedling media is flushed with water evenly.
 Sow the Tomato seeds by placing 1-2 seeds in the seedling tray holes or spreading them thinly on the seedling media on a bamboo table and covering them thinly with soil.
 Then cover the seedling media tightly with plastic mulch. This is to keep the seedling media from drying out easily and speed up seed germination.
 Tomato seeds will start growing at the age of 4-5 days after sowing. 4. Seed Treatment
 Check the seeds that are starting to grow by opening the plastic mulch covering on day 3 or 4 and watering if the media starts to dry
 Routine watering is done every morning and evening if the media is dry with a shower tool
 Fertilization is given if needed when the seedlings are 15 days old with NPK 2 gr/l water sprinkled
 Spraying fungicides and insecticides if needed on the 7th or 10th day with a dose of ½ of the recommended
 The need for tomato seeds per hectare is around 18,000-20,000 seeds.
 Seed reserves for embroidery add about 10-20%.

B. Land Preparation

1. Clearing the land of grass/weeds and remaining plant roots, so that plant growth is not disturbed from pests and disease hosts
2. Plowing the land and rotating if with a tractor as deep as 30-40 cm to loosen the soil and improve soil drainage and aeration.
3. Apply dolomite lime together with tillage if the soil pH is < 6.
4. Making beds with a width of 110-120 cm height of 30-40 cm according to the season, the width of the ditch 50-60 cm and the length of the beds according to land conditions.
5. Provision of manure on the surface of the bed and stir evenly. The need for manure is 20 tons per hectare.
6. Apply basic NPK fertilizer 600 kg/ha.
7. Cover the surface of the bed with soil and level it.

C. Planting

1. Setting the spacing
Tomato planting distance is 60 x 50 cm 2. Making mulch planting holes
Mulch planting holes can be made with a hole punch made of heated iron according to the recommended planting distance
3. Planting Technique
Tomato seedlings ready for planting 18-21 days old. Planting is done by planting 1 or 2 seeds per planting hole, then watering. Planting in lowland areas should be done in the afternoon to avoid seed stress.

D. Plant Maintenance

1. Watering
 Watering by watering with a dipper is done every day
 Watering by pouring it into the ditch and sprinkling it into the planting hole (on the leb) is done 1-2 times per week
2. Embroidery
Stitching is done to replace dead plants until the plants are 7 days old, this is to maintain the planting population intact
3. Installation of bamboo stakes/truses  Installation of stakes is carried out from 1 week old plants, so as not to damage the plant roots. The length of the Tomato stake is 200 cm
 Ajir /turus is stuck close to the stem of the plant with a distance of 5 cm.
4. Picking side shoots (pewiwilan).  Tomatoes of the Indeterminate type that grow in the highlands, the shoots that grow under the V branch are all picked. Take care of the branches below the first flower, so that only 2 branches are maintained. All the shoots are growing on both stems in the picking.
 In Determinate Tomatoes, side shoots are not picked because all productive side shoots produce fruit.
5. Weeding / weeding
Weeding of grass or weeds that disturb the plants is carried out 2 times during one season, namely when the plants are 30 days old and 60 days old using a small hoe.
6. Binding of plants
Binding of ordinary plants using rapia rope or sack rope, the method is crossed like number 8 and done in stages up to 3-4 times according to growth

E. Fertilization

F. Disease Pests

1. Pests

 At the beginning of planting it is common for caterpillars/crickets to appear, control by sowing Carbufuran at planting, then spraying insecticides and fungicides with the active ingredients propineb or mancozeb 1 x a week
 Leaf miner pests when controlled with Thrigart 0.3 gr/ltr.
 Caterpillar Pests are controlled by Dangke
 Fruit caterpillar pests are controlled with Dangke and Emacel

2. Disease

 Late blight Pythoptora infestans will appear in the highlands especially during the rainy season controlled by the active ingredient Mankozeb.
 Alternaria solani leaf spot disease which usually appears in the dry season is controlled with Mankozeb and Score fungicides.
 Bacterial Spots or Bacterial Spots also commonly appear to attack leaves, stems and fruit, controlled by the active ingredient sulfur.
 Bacterial wilt or Bacterial wilt occurs more frequently in the lowlands where it is controlled by sanitation of wilted plants and disposed of in a lower area of land.
 Stem Rot (Pseudomonas Corrugata) is controlled with bactocin.

G. Harvesting

1. Harvest of tomato plants depends on the variety planted early or in its age, as well as the location of the planting in the lowlands or highlands, for tomatoes
 Determinate in the lowlands from harvesting at 63-67 HST
 Indeterminate tomatoes in the highlands start harvesting at 75-80 HST
2. Plants planted in the lowlands initially harvest faster than the highlands
3. Generally harvesting is done every 3-5 days depending on market demand and the distance from the garden to the market
