Effect of root dipping of bio-fertilizers (PSB and Azospirillum) and foliar spray of micronutrients (Zinc, Boron and
Manganese) and their interactions on plant growth and seed yield was studied in Tomato cultivar “Utkal Kumari”
developed from Orissa University of Agriculture and Technology, Bhubaneswar with 15 treatments and 3 replications. Application of PSB resulted in significant increase in all the growth parameters like number of
primary branches (16.25), number of leaves per plant (86.26) and plant height (53.89 cm) and yield attributes
like fruit yield (50.54 t/ha) and seed yield (215.05 kg/ha) followed by the application of Azospirillum. Mineral
mixture application was significantly better for all growth parameters and ZnSO4 for yield attributes. Combination
effects of bio-fertilizers and micronutrients were mostly similar during growth stages. However, for fruit and seed
yield, interaction effect of PSB and ZnSO4
was significantly better than others followed by Azospirillum +
mineral mixture. So, from the results it can be inferred that application of PSB as root dipping and mineral
mixture as foliar spray are better during vegetative stage and combination of PSB and ZnSO4
is recommended for increasing fruit and seed yield for tomato.
