Title: Effects of variety and application frequency of 4-cholorophenoxy acetic acid on growth and yield of summer tomato
Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at the Horticulture Farm, Department of Horticulture, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during the period from March to August, 2016 to investigate the effect of variety and frequency of application of 4-chlorophenoxy acetic acid (4-CPA) on growth and yield of tomato. The experiment was consisted of two factors viz., Factor A: two varieties of summer tomato namely, BARI Hybrid Tomato 4 and BARI Hybrid Tomato 8 and Factor B: frequency of application of 4-CPA i.e., (i) T0 (control) (ii) T1 (at 5 day interval) (iii) T2 (at 10 day interval) and (iv) T3 (at 15 day interval). The concentration of 4-CPA was 60 ppm. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications. The results of the experiment revealed that there were significant variations for most of the characters studied. The higher plant height (91.47 cm) at 75 DAT, flowers per plant (27.22), fruits per plant (9.43), individual fruit weight (84.54 g), fruit weight per plot (7.21) and yield (28.38 t/ha) were found from BARI Hybrid Tomato 4 and the lower for all parameters were found from BARI Hybrid Tomato 8. The maximum plant height (94.45 cm) at 75 DAT, flowers per plant (32.41), fruits per plant (11.41), individual fruit weight (86.89 g), fruit weight per plot (8.92 kg) and yield (35.12 t/ha) were found when 4-CPA applied at 5 day interval whereas the minimum for these characters were recorded from control treatments. In case of combined effect of variety and 4-CPA, the maximum plant height (95.10 cm) at 75 DAT, flowers per plant (33.47), fruits per plant (11.77), individual fruit weight (87.19 g), fruit yield per plot (9.24 kg) and yield (36.36 t/ha)) were observed from BARI Hybrid Tomato 4 when treated with 4-CPA at 5 day interval and the minimum for all these characters were found from BARI Hybrid Tomato 8 at 10 day interval. The results of the present study suggest that application of 60 ppm of 4-CAP at 5 day interval can be practiced for increasing summer tomato production for both the varieties.
