Abstract
Waterlogging is a serious abiotic stress which affects plant growth and development due to reduced amount of oxygen supplied to submerged tissues. A pot experiment was conducted to look into the adverse effect of flooding stress on tomato cultivar, Pusharubi at Jute Agriculture Experimental Station, Jagir, Manikganj during September to December, 2018. Thirty days old healthy tomato plants were subjected to continuous flooding stress of different durations, 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 days. Earthen pots with healthy tomato plants were placed inside a larger concrete chamber and irrigated with tap water so that the waterlogging depth was maintained within 4-5 cm throughout the experimental period. Morphological parameters recorded include, plant height, number of leaves, stem base diameter, leaf area, dead plant %, days to flowering and number of fruits per plant. Pusharubi cultivar was heavily affected to the deleterious effect of waterlogging on all the parameters studied. Therefore Pusharubi genotype can be treated as waterlogging sensitive genotype. For all these reasons Pusharubi may not be recommended for cultivation in low land areas or where water stagnation is prominent. This experiment identified some agronomic traits associated with flood-tolerance for vegetable crop.
Key Words: Tomato, Flooding stress, Growth parameters, Yield and yield components
