Summary

This video provides an in-depth guide for tomato farmers on managing pests, diseases, and optimizing fertilization schedules. It covers key pest control methods for aphids, thrips, and gray caterpillars, as well as strategies for preventing common tomato diseases like leaf spot and fruit rot. Detailed fertilization advice is provided for various growth stages, with specific products and application timing for each phase. Farmers will also learn about adjusting their spraying schedule based on weather conditions to ensure healthy, thriving tomato plants and a bountiful harvest.

Takeaways

• 😀 Proper spraying of tomato plants is essential from the moment of transplanting to prevent pests like locusts and snails. Using products like Ultra Dark and Vitronil can help manage these threats.
• 😀 At 7 days after transplant (HST), spray with POC or Ultra Dark to ensure healthy growth and check for signs of diseases like curling.
• 😀 At 14 HST, implement a coffee-based fertilizer mixture and consider adding Mitkin to prevent further pest invasions.
• 😀 By 21 HST, continue using Beon, and mix with POC or Ultra Dark for further prevention of common tomato pests.
• 😀 At 28 HST, use Chloro-tonil-based fungicides (like Dakonil or Kapuas) to combat diseases like leaf blight and fruit rot.
• 😀 MKP (Monopotassium Phosphate) is recommended from 28 HST onward to promote flower development and prevent fruit drop in fast-growing tomato varieties.
• 😀 At 35 HST, continue applying MKP and POC to support plant growth and consider using Mitkin if necessary for pest control.
• 😀 By 42 HST, switch to calcium-based treatments (like Powercal or Calcium Nitrate) to strengthen the plants and prevent diseases related to weak stems and fruits.
• 😀 At 49 and 56 HST, switch to using KN03 and consider adding essential micro-nutrients like Vita Flek if preferred over POC.
• 😀 Pests like aphids, thrips, and spider mites can be controlled by using targeted insecticides like Mektin or Avidor, while maintaining a proper pH level in the spraying solution (below 5).
• 😀 For disease control, use a combination of calcium-based products and systemic fungicides like Kapuas to tackle common tomato diseases, especially during high humidity or rainy periods.

Q & A

What is the primary focus of this video?

The video focuses on the pest control, disease management, and the correct spraying schedule for tomato plants, with emphasis on specific dosages and chemicals.

What are the common pests that affect tomato plants?

Common pests affecting tomato plants include aphids, leaf miners, cutworms, and thrips.

How can aphids on tomato plants be controlled?

Aphids can be controlled using Mektin, with products available in different concentrations such as 16 EC, 36, and 50. It's recommended to use the 50 EC product for better cost efficiency.

What is the recommended spraying schedule for tomatoes from the start?

The spraying schedule starts at 1 HST (days after transplanting), with applications of Ultra Dark, Vitronil, and later POC or Ultradap. Spraying continues with specific chemicals at 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, and 42 HST, focusing on pest and disease prevention.

Why is it important to maintain the pH level of the spray solution?

Maintaining the pH level below 5 is crucial for effective pest control. A pH above 5 can reduce the effectiveness of certain pesticides and fungicides.

How should the application of fungicides be handled for diseases like leaf spot and blight?

For diseases like leaf spot and blight, the video suggests using a fungicide like Kapuas, which combines both systemic and contact properties, along with calcium to enhance the fungicide's effectiveness.

What products can be used to prevent and treat bacterial wilt or stem rot in tomatoes?

To treat bacterial wilt and stem rot, the recommended treatment includes fungicides such as Chlorothalonil (Dakonil) or Antracol, with applications starting at 28 HST and continued throughout the growing season.

How does the use of MKP and calcium impact tomato plant health?

MKP (Mono Potassium Phosphate) and calcium are crucial for strengthening tomato plants, particularly during the flowering and fruit-setting stages, ensuring better fruit development and preventing blossom drop.

What is the significance of using POC (Pupuk Organik Cair) in the spraying schedule?

POC (Pupuk Organik Cair) is used in the spraying schedule to provide organic nutrients to the plants, supporting their overall health and improving their resistance to pests and diseases.

What are the recommended steps for preventing and controlling cutworms and other soil pests?

For controlling cutworms and other soil pests, the video suggests using Vitronil at the time of planting, along with other soil treatments like Butok or Regen to protect the roots and seedlings from damage.
