Description An experiment to study the effect of different levels and methods of
mycorrhizal inoculum and fertilizer application on growth and yield of tomato
(Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) cv. hybrid NS-501was conducted at the University
of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore.
The study included two levels of mycorrhiza viz., 250 and 500 g per hectare
through soil application and seedling dipping with three levels of fertilizer i.e., 100
per cent recommended NPK, 100 per cent recommended NK plus 75 per cent P and
100 per cent NK plus 50 per cent P. The maximum plant height, dry weight of roots
per plant and number of flowers per cluster were observed in the treatment
mycorrhizal inoculum through seedling dip @ 10g/l plus full dose NPK at 90 DAT
the same treatment has recorded maximum bacterial population at harvest. The
maximum number of branches, dry weight of leaves, stem, fruits, reproductive parts,
root volume and total dry weight per plant at 90 DAT were observed in treatment
mycorrhizal inoculum through soil application at 250 g/ha plus 100 per cent
recommended NPK. The same treatment has recorded maximum number of clusters
per plant, number of fruits per cluster, total number of fruits per plant, total yield per
hectare, root colonization, spore count, fungi population in soil samples, P uptake and
available P content. Highest fruit set percentage was recorded in treatment
mycorrhizal inoculum through soil application at 250g/ha + 100 per cent NK + 50 per
cent P. The population of actinomycetes was highest in mycorrhizal inoculum through
soil application at 250 g/ha with 100 per cent NK and75 per cent P. The maximum
Total Soluble Solids content of the fruits were observed in treatment mycorrhizal
inoculum through soil application at 500 g/ha plus full dose NPK and the maximum
days taken to reach ten per cent fruit spoilage was recorded in mycorrhizal inoculum
through soil application 500 g/ha with 100 per cent NK and 75 per cent p.
