Balance nutrition in tomato through nutrient management for quality production of fruits
Vegetable Science(2014)
Abstract
The experiment was laid out from 2010 to 2013 at Vegetable Farm, C.S. Azad University of Agriculture & Technology, Kanpur on integrated nutrient management in tomato crop. The main objective was to find out the suitable doses of micro-nutrients with association of major nutrients for producing the maximum number of marketable fruits of tomato. Combined foliar application of Zn 100 ppm, B 100 ppm, Mo 50 ppm, Fe 100 ppm, Cu 100 ppm & Mn 100 ppm with the soil application of 120 kg N, 60 kg P2O5, 80 kg K2O, 10 t FYM, 25 kg S and 5 kg Azotobactor/ha (T18) gave higher marketable fruits and minimum unmarketable fruits. This treatment also gave higher yield of fruits per plant by 2.09 kg/plant, closely followed by T13, T14, and T17. The maximum pooled yield of 308.73 q/ha was recorded in treatment T18, which was at per with T17 (301.08 q/ha). The lowest yield as 176.09 q/ha was recorded at recommended dose of NPK (T1).
