Title: Effect of different sources of nutrient and hormones on growth and yield of tomato
Abstract: The experiment was conducted to find out the effect of different sources of nutrient and hormones on the growth and yield of tomato. The study consisted of Factor A: different nutrient sources viz. N0: Control; N1: Cowdung (60 tha-1); N2: Vermicompost (7 tha-1) and N3: Recommended dose (10 ton Cowdung + 550 kg Urea + 450 kg TSP + 250 kg MPha-1) and Factor B: different hormones viz. H0: Control; H1: NAA (30 ppm) and H2: GA3 (30 ppm). The minimum days (32d) required from transplanting to 1st flowering from N3H2 and the maximum (39d) was needed from N0H0. The treatment N3H2 performed better than other treatments and produced maximum (59.11) number of fruits per plant, maximum (95.82 g) weight of individual fruit and maximum (83.87 ton) yield per hectare. Treatment combination, N3H2, enhanced fruit production by about three times over control (20 fruits plant-1) and individual fruit weight by 1.6 times compared to control (59 g plant-1) resulting maximum fruit yield (83.87t ha-1) which is 2.4 times higher than that of control, N0H0. It appears that the recommended fertilizer dose along with GA3 application may be recommended for tomato production.
