Solution(By Examveda Team)

The best pH for tomato cultivation is 6.0 - 7.0.
Tomato can be grown on a wide range of soils from sandy to heavy clay. However, well-drained, sandy or red loam soils rich in organic matter with a pH range of 6.0 - 7.0 are considered ideal. Tomato is a warm-season crop. The best fruit colour and quality are obtained at a temperature range of 21 - 24°C.
