Abstract:
An experiment was conducted on effect of different concentration of liquid fertilizers on growth yield and quality of Tomato under shade net condition with cultivar Arka Vikas during 2020-21 at the Research Field of Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj. The experiment was conducted in Randomized block design (RBD) with growing media (FYM+Vermicompost+Cocopeat) the treatments were T₀ (NPK 0 ml/), T₁ (NPK 7.5 ml/), T₂ (NPK 10 ml/), T₃ (NPK 12.5 ml/), T₄ (NPK 15 ml/), T₅ (NPK 17.5 ml/), T₆ (NPK 20 ml/), T₇ (NPK 22.50 ml/). The observations were recorded on various growth, yield and quality characters. The results from the present investigation revealed that treatment T₇ followed by T₆ was found superior in terms of growth, yield and quality parameters of Tomato in soilless media i.e. (Cocopeat + FYM + Vermi- compost), in agro-climatic condition of Prayagraj. In terms of economics maximum gross return, net return and B:C ratio the highest values was recorded in treatment T₇.
