Title: Influence of sucker pruning and old leaves removal on growth and yield of cherry tomato
Abstract: A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the influence of different pruning techniques viz. P0= control, P1= sucker pruning, P2= old leaf pruning on growth and yield characteristics of cherry tomato. JP-13 cherry tomato line, collected from ASRBC, ACI Ltd was used in this experiment. The experiment was arranged in a Randomized Completely Blocked Design (RCBD) with three replications. Highest plant height (195.4 cm), fruit length (17.0 mm), fruit diameter (37.6 mm), single fruit weight (25.1 gm) and chlorophyll percentage (55.7) was obtained from treatment P1 whereas highest no. of fruit (22.7), yield/plant (381.6 gm) and yield/ha (20.3 ton) was found in treatment P2. Both the pruning treatments showed superiority in yield contributing characters compared to control. Thus integration of these techniques can be a viable way to increase production of cherry tomato.
