Abstract
The experiment was conducted between October 2013 and March 2014 in the Horticulture Research Field and the Laboratories of the Sheik Mujaibur Rahman University of Agriculture, Salna, Gazipur, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University, Salna, Gazipur, to identify the optimum dose of nitrogen and phosphoric fertilizer for better growth, yield and quality of tomatoes. There were five levels of nitrogen 0 kg ha-1 (N0), 125 kg ha-1 (N125), 250 kg ha-1(N250), 300 kg ha-1 (N300), 350 kg ha-1 (N350) and five levels of phosphorus 0 kg ha-1 (P0), 50 kg ha-1 (P50), 100 kg ha-1 (P100), 125 kg ha-1 (P125), 150 kg ha-1 (P150) which made 25 treatment combinations. The results revealed that nitrogen level 300 kg ha-1 (N300) performed the best regarding plant height at final harvest (108.10 cm), weight of fruits per plant (2.50 kg), yield per hectare (76.17 t) and TSS (10.41%). The crop treated with phosphorus 125 kg ha-1 (P125) produced the maximum plant height at final harvest (103.89 cm), number of fruits per plant (66.76), weight of fruits per plant (2.20 kg), weight of fruits per plot (32.04 kg), yield per hectare (66.75 t) and TSS (10.42%). The plants treated with nitrogen 300 kg ha-1 and phosphorus 125 kg ha-1 (N300P125) performed the best regarding plant height at final harvest (112.17 cm), number of fruits per plant (88.11), weight of fruits per plant (2.87 kg), yield per hectare (87.85 t) and TSS (10.62%). For tomato growing in the Salna series of shallow Red-Brown Terrace soil, a combined treatment of nitrogen 300 kg ha-1 and phosphorus 125 kg ha-1 was found to be more lucrative, with a high benefit-cost ratio (8.61).
