Effect of Different Concentration of Water Soluble Fertilizers on Growth, Yield and Quality Attributes of Cherry Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum var. cerasiformae) cv. Pusa Cherry Tomato-1 In Grow Bags under Polyhouse Condition
Year: 2022
Type: article
Abstract: An experiment was carried out in naturally ventilated polyhouse where the seedlings were transplanted in grow bags in Department of Horticulture, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P.) during year 2020–2021 to find out the effect of water-soluble fertilizer on growth, yield and fruit quality parameters and to estimate the economics of various treatment of water-soluble fertilizer in cherry tomato. The experiment consisted of nine different treatments combination which was laid out in a completely randomized block design (RBD) with three replications. The result of present investigation revealed that among distinct treatments, the treatment T4 NPK (20:20:20)15% outstands in all the aspects recorded. The highest plant height was (108.92 cm at 90 DAT) with maximum stem girth (10.41 cm). The maximum fruit weight was found to be (9.08 g). The maximum net return of Rs 103470.8 and the maximum Cost: Benefit (C:B) ratio was recorded to be 4.18, this might be due to the more yield, average fruit weight and fruit size.
