“…This model is commonly used where the range of the dependent variable is partially known ( Wooldridge, 2010 ). Adoption of technology is rarely a simple yes or no decision ( Noltze et al., 2012 ; Rahman et al., 2021b ). As a result, a binary logit or probit model is insufficient for identifying the determinants that affect adoption intensity.…”

“…To overcome this problem, several researchers use Tobit regression to estimate the adoption intensity ( Martey et al., 2014 ; Paltasingh, 2018 ; Rodthong et al., 2020 ). Other researchers ( Mal et al., 2012 ; Rahman et al., 2021b ) employ the double hurdle model to investigate the factors that influence adoption and adoption intensity. The Tobit model was compared to the double hurdle model using a likelihood ratio (LR) test ( Greene, 2003 ), and we selected the Tobit model to analyze the data based on the results of the LR test.…”

“…Access to appropriate education, health care, and other resources is determined by an individual's or group's social standing and economic situation [5,6]. There are several studies [7,8] on Indian farmers, but the socioeconomic status of our tomato growers is only mentioned in a few study journals, despite the fact that farmers in the Solan district have been farming tomatoes for many years. Very less information about their socio-economic status is known.…”

Tomato is one of the most consumed and produced horticulture crops in the world. It is more economical than food grains due to their higher production per unit area in less time as they provide a good source of income to farmers. The present study has been conducted to study the socio-economic status of tomato growers in the Solan district of Himachal Pradesh. The multi-stage sampling technique and pre-tested interview schedule were used for data collection for the study. A sample was collected from eight villages in Solan district to make a total sample size of 80 tomato growers in the study area for the agricultural year 2021-2022. Mean, percentage, frequency, and standard deviation were used to find out the socio-economic status of tomato growers. The result revealed that majority i.e., 80 per cent of tomato growers belonged to middle aged group and 33.75 per cent had primary school education. About 76.25 per cent of tomato growers had joint family with 3 to 7 family members. 77.5 per cent of tomato growers had 0.5 to 3.17 bigha under tomato cultivation with 11 to 42 years of farming experience. The gross income of tomato growers was Rs. 60,000 per bigha and net income was Rs. 38,353 per bigha. The output input ratio worked out to be 1.77. The majority i.e., 55 per cent of tomato growers had medium level of socio-economic class. This study suggests the appointment of more extension personnel at grass root level. This study will be helpful in developing suitable and effective extension programmes to increase tomato production.

“…The tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is one of the most economically important vegetables worldwide, surpassed only by the potato [1][2][3][4]. Its wide acceptance and commercialization are due to its rich nutritional value [5] and high versatility-it can be consumed raw, or it can be processed in many ways [6,7].…”

Development of BC3F2 Tomato Genotypes with Arthropod Resistance Introgressed from Solanum habrochaites var. hirsutum (PI127826)

Arthropod pests are among the biggest problems faced in tomato production worldwide. To overcome the losses caused by these pests, one of the most sustainable and economical strategies is the use of resistance introgressed from wild species. We aimed to develop BC3F2 tomato genotypes with high levels of zingiberene (ZGB) and resistance to whitefly (Bemisia tabaci biotype B), South American tomato pinworm (Tuta absoluta), and the two-spotted spider mite (Tatranychus urticae), from the wild accession of Solanum habrochaites var. hirsutum (accession PI127826). The quantification of ZGB in 520 BC3F2 genotypes and in the parentals yielded the selection of five genotypes with high ZGB content and three with low ZGB content, which were then infested with B. tabaci, T. absolute, and T. urticae. In these eight genotypes and in the parents, the types and amounts of trichomes on the leaves were determined. Additionally, molecular markers were used to identify the genotypes with a higher recurrent genome recovery. The results confirmed the transfer of resistance from S. habrochaites to the BC3F2 genotypes and showed that this resistance seems to be directly related to high concentrations of ZGB and the presence of type IV trichomes.
