Abstract:
A field experiment entitled “Effect of different levels of N, P and K on growth, yield and quality of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum, Var.Arka Shrestha)under Kanpur agro-climatic condition”was conducted at Horticulture field of Rama University, Kanpur, U.P., India during Feb to June 2022 to evaluate the effect of NPK and their combination on vegetative growth as well yield of Arka shrestha variety of tomato.
A field experiment entitled “Effect of different levels of N, P and K on growth, yield and quality of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum, Var.Arka Shrestha)under Kanpur agro-climatic condition”was conducted at Horticulture field of Rama University, Kanpur, U.P., India during Feb to June 2022 to evaluate the effect of NPK and their combination on vegetative growth as well yield of Arka shrestha variety of tomato.
The experiment was laid out in RCBD considering 8 treatments and 3 replications. The variety of Arka shrestha was selected and combination of NPK were T1 = N180 kg/ha +P100 kg/ha +K60 kg/ha, T2 =N140 kg/ha +P50 kg/ha +K40 kg/ha, T3 = N210 kg/ha +P110 kg/ha +K75 kg/ha, T4 = N160kg/ha +P70kg/ha +K50kg/ha, T5 = N170kg/ha +P80kg/ha +K55kg/ha, T6 = N190kg/ha +P90 kg/ha +K65 kg/ha, T7 =N200 kg/ha +P100 kg/ha +K70 kg/ha and T8 = N210 kg/ha +P110 kg/ha +K75 kg/ha.
On the basis of this experiment, it may be concluded that the application of NPK combination(N-210 kg + P-110 kg + K-75 kg per ha) increase the vegetative growth as well yield of tomato. In treatment T8 the vegetative parameters like plant height, no of leaves, and length of leaves and number of braches shows positive response to the increasing rate of NPK combination. It has also the positive impact on the yield attributes of arka shrestha variety of tomato under the climatic condition of Kanpur. Therefore, it can be concluded that the increasing rate on NPK may increase the vegetative growth yield attributes as well the quality of fruits.
Is recommended to the tomato growers for the application of NPK combination for arka shrestha variety of tomato under which it gives better growth and yield is (N-210 kg + P-110 kg +K-75 kg per ha ) for higher production of tomato under Kanpur condition.
