Abstract
A field experiment entitled “Effect of foliar application of calcium and boron on growth, yield and quality of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) in South-Eastern Rajasthan” was conducted at College of Agriculture, Ummedganj Kota (Rajasthan) during rabi season 2019-20. The experiment consisting 16 treatment combinations with two factors i.e. calcium with four levels (0, 0.3, 0.6 and 0.9%) and boron with four levels (0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03%) was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design with three replications each.
The individual foliar application of calcium treatment Ca2 (0.6%) recorded maximum plant height at 30 DAT plant height at 30 DAT plant height at 30 DAT plant height at 30 DAT plant height at 30 DAT
