ThesisItem Open Access Status Of Boron, Its Critical Limit And Transformations In Apple Growing Soils Of Himachanl Pradesh(Dr Yashwant Singh Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry;Solan, 2002) Upender Singh; Bhandari, A.R.ThesisItem Open Access STUDIES ON THE EFFECT OF NATURAL FARMING PRACTICES ON PRODUCTIVITY OF TOMATO (Solanum lycopersicum L.)(UHF,NAUNI, 2023-11-30) Charu Sharma; Upender SinghThe present investigation, entitled "Studies on the effect of natural farming practices on productivity of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) was carried out at SPNF block in year 2022-23, Dr YS Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan. The experiment was laid out in Randomised Block Design on tomato cv. Solan lalima with intercrops bean cv. Contender and brinjal cv. Pusa purple long consisting of 9 treatments and 3 replication viz., T1 (1.0 t/ha Ghanjeevamrit + Jeevamrit @ 20%), T2 (1.0 t/ha Ghanjeevamrit + Jeevamrit @30%), T3 (1.5 t/ha Ghanjeevamrit + Jeevamrit @ 20%), T4 (1.5 t/ha Ghanjeevamrit + Jeevamrit @30% ), T5 (2.0 t/ha Ghanjeevamrit + Jeevamrit @ 20%), T6 (2.0 t/ha Ghanjeevamrit + Jeevamrit @30%), T7 (3.0 t/ha Ghanjeevamrit + Jeevamrit @ 20%), T8 (3.0 t/ha Ghanjeevamrit + Jeevamrit @30%), T9 (Absolute Control). The results of investigation revealed that the application of different formulations not only significantly increased the soil organic carbon content, nutrient uptake, growth, yield, and quality parameters of tomato but also increased soil macro as well as micronutrients along with soil microbial count. The increase in soil and growth parameters by the treatment T8 (3.0 t/ha Ghanjeevamrit + Jeevamrit @30%) was followed by T7 (3.0 t/ha Ghanjeevamrit + Jeevamrit @ 20%) whereas maximum B:C ratio of 2.81 was recorded under treatment T7 (3.0 t/ha Ghanjeevamrit + Jeevamrit @ 20%). Application of 3.0 t/ha Ghanjeevamrit + Jeevamrit @ 20% @ 14 days interval + (six foliar application of Jeevamrit) JM may be recommended as most effective nutrient module for tomato cultivation and sustaining soil health.
