A field study was conducted during rabi seasons at research farm of ICAR Research Complex for Eastern
Region, Patna to examine the effects of sources and rates of fertilizers on the growth, yield, economics and
fertilizer use efficiency of tomato under drip-fertigation. Three types of fertilizer sources in combination, i.e.,
conventional fertilizers (F1), conventional with soluble solid fertilizer (F2) and conventional with liquid fertilizer
(F3) were applied at three different rates, viz., 50% (D1) 75% (D2) and 100% (D3) of recommended doses. The
study revealed that root growth parameters were positively influenced by the application of liquid fertilizers.
Treatment F3 showed the highest root growth followed by F2. Fertigation with CF + liquid fertilizers (F3) gave
the maximum fruit yield of 55.7 t ha-1. Highest B: C ratio of 1.96 was recorded in fertigation with conventional
fertilizers (F1). Different fertilizer doses were not significant. However, 50% dose (D1) recorded the highest
fertilizer use efficiency (3.7 q/ kg of NPK).
