Abstract
Vegetables can make a significant difference to the livelihood of marginal farmers. Vegetable production needs only a small area of land with minimal capital outlay and can provide access to a valuable food under subsistence conditions; but also has the potential to provide an initial step towards establishing an income base for poorer households. Tomato is universally treated as protective food and is a very good source of income to small and marginal farmers and contributes to the nutrition of the consumers. Integrated nutrient management (INM) integrates the use of all natural and man-made sources of plant nutrients so that productivity and nutrient status of food increases in an efficient and environmentally benefiting manner without sacrificing soil productivity of future generations. Quality fruit production of tomato can be done through integration of organic nutrition (farmyard manure, vermicompost, green manuring) and inorganic fertilizers. In this background, this review deals with the integration of organic and inorganic nutrition to produce quality fruit yield in tomato.
