Tomatoes: (বাংলাঃ টমেটো) In Rajshahi, Bangladesh, tomato producers are relied upon to gain in any event Tk 400m acquiring from tomato cultivating amid the ebb and flow season. This gigantic benefit is credited to the presentation of high yielding and half breed assortments, and in addition the utilization of advanced innovation.

As indicated by authorities at the Department of Agriculture Extension (DAE), the development has been expanded by five to six circumstances amid the last 15 to 20 years.
 

Bangladesh Agriculture Research Institute (BARI), said they created 10 high yielding and quality assortments. BARI has been actualizing unique projects to advance those among the producers through organizing ranchers preparing and exhibition plots in various regions. The rates of creation of the created assortments are similarly high and more gainful contrasted with local assortments.

Tomato cultivating is picking up fame wherever in the locale as it is currently viewed as the second money edit and assumes a critical part in the economy, monetarily profiting no less than 0.2 million families there.

Tomato cultivators said that they procure between Tk 20 and 25 thousand by developing tomato on each bigha of land in a season. The early assortments have showed up in the nearby markets, however are past the obtaining limit of lower and lower-working class individuals.

The discount cost of a maund of tomato is currently around Taka 2,000 to 2,400, however the cost will come down to around Tk 200 for every maund late in the season, sources said.

Though Tomato is a winter vegetable in Bangladesh. The creation of tomato in summer is restricted as a result of high temperature, substantial precipitation and serious pervasion of ailments. As of late Bangladesh Agricultural Research Inst. created two assortments of tomato that can set organic products in summer with the utilization of Tomatotone (Parachloro phenoxy aceticacid) yet, the yield is poor (24 t/ha). Consequently, a program was started to create half breed tomatoes that can set natural products at high temperature without Tomatotone. In 1995 winter season half dialel crosses were made between seven chose ingrained lines. Half and half seeds of all crosses were gathered and tried in 1996 summer season alongside the guardians. Every one of the half and halves gave higher yield over the guardians.

The half and half line TM0832 was the most noteworthy yielder and delivered 424.7% higher yield over the better parent. Chosen half breeds were further put into local yield trial in Summer 1997 with the control assortment BARI Tomato-4. TM0832 performed better in every one of the areas and delivered 146.45% higher yield over the control. The recognizing morphological characters of the half and halves are midget plants with less foliage scope and bountiful bearing (70–75 organic products/plant). Products of TM0832 developed in 60–65 days in the wake of transplanting and collecting proceeded for a month. Organic products are globose, medium in size, strong and created uniform red shading at development.

Organic products have time span of usability of 20 days at a surrounding summer environment. The plants indicated high level of resistance to bacterial shrivel.
