    Effect of organic manures and biofertilizers on growth, yield and quality of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum)

    ABSTRACT (An abstract of the dissertation submitted to the Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, Jabalpur (Madhya Pradesh) in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Agriculture, Vegetable Science). The present study entitled, “Effect of organic manure and biofertilizers on growth, yield and quality of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) cv. Narendra-6” was conducted at Research Farm, J.N.K.V.V., College of Agriculture, Tikamgarh (M.P.) during rabi 2012-13. The experiment was laid out in factorial randomized block design with three replications. The factor A treatments consisted of B0 [without biofertilizers (control)] and B1 [biofertilizers viz., PSB @ 2.5 kg ha-1 and Azospirillum @ 2.5 kg ha-1]. The factor B treatments consisted of five manures and fertilizers (t) viz., t0 - Control (without manure and fertilizers), t1 - Farm yard manure (@ 12 tonnes ha-1), t2 - Vermicompost (@ 6 tonnes ha-1), t3 - Farm yard manure 50% (@ 6 tonnes ha-1) + vermicompost 50% (@ 3 tonnes ha-1) and t4 - Recommended dose of fertilizers (N2 @ 60 kg ha-1, P2O5 @ 50 kg ha-1 and K2O @ 30 kg ha-1 ). The objectives of the experiment were to study the effect of organic manures and biofertilizers on growth, yield and quality of tomato. The higher plant height, maximum number of branches and leaves plant-1 with the combination of RDF + biofertilizers application and lowest plant height, minimum number of branches and leaves plant-1 was recorded in control plot at all growth stages of tomato. Among the different treatments, FYM + biofertilizers were found to be superior for earliness to attain anthesis and 50% flowering. With respect to fruit yield attributes, application of RDF+ biofertilizers recorded higher values for number of fruits per plant, fruit weight and fruit yield, while control plot recorded lower values for the above characters. The treatment RDF + biofertilizers was found to be superior for producing higher fruit girth, number of locules fruit-1, number of seed fruit-1, seed and pulp ratio (g) and T.S.S. percentage while the control treatment recorded lower values for the above characters. The treatment FYM + vermicompost + biofertilizers recorded higher self life of fruits at room temperature and lower spoilage percentage. Significantly lower self life of fruits at room temperature and higher spoilage percentage, were recorded in the control plot. On the basis of present investigation, it can be inferred that the receiving of RDF + biofertilizers is more effective in increasing the crop growth and fruit yield but, fruit quality superior in FYM+ vermicompost with biofertilizers application under the agro-climatic condition of Tikamgarh (M.P.) was the optimum to achieve higher productivity of tomato.
