Description A field experiment was conducted at the University of Agricultural Sciences,
Dharwad during kharif season of 2007 to study the effect of organic manures and
biofertilziers on plant growth, seed yield and quality parameters in tomato. The experiment
consisted of 8 treatment combinations laid out in two factor randomized black design with
three replication.
Results of field experiment (kharif 2007) revealed that, application of RDF (60:50:30
kg NPK/ha) + biofertilzier (Azospirillum and P solubilizing bacteria 2.5 kg/ha each) records
higher plant height (64.37, 109.50 and 162.33 cm), number of leaves (92.50, 153.33 and
146.50), leaf area (898.05, 4314.31 and 4310.94 cm2) and leaf area index (898.05, 4314.31
and 4310.94 cm2) at 30, 60 and 90 DAT respectively and records lesser days to 50 per cent
flowering (38.00) followed by FYM (50%) + vermicompost (50%) + biofertilzier.
The application of RDF + biofertilziers records higher seed yield (106.87 kg/ha)
followed by FYM (50%) + vermicompost (50%) (101.94 kg/ha) over FYM alone. The seed
yield was significantly higher with the application of RDF + biofertilziers was attributed to
number of fruits per plant (45.22) number of seeds per fruit (109.45) fruit weight per plant
(1280.98 g) and 1000 seed weight (2.84 g).
Among the treatments, application of RDF + biofertilzier recorded significantly
higher germination (96.73%), root length (11.73 cm), shoot length (12.54 cm), seedling
vigour index (2348), seedling dry weight (25.93 mg) and lower electrical conductivity (0.286
dSm-1) followed by FYM (50%) + vermicompost (50%) over FYM alone.
