Key Conclusions
In comparison with the existing Farmer practices, the ICL practice, via the usage of Polysulphate fertilizer, demonstrated a considerable increase in the yield/plant of the Tomato crop and their shelf life as well. This translates to additional returns per hectare and also the marginal cost benefit ratio for Tomato crops in Indian conditions.
