Abstract:
This research paper investigates the effect of TA41 on the growth, yield, and quality of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.). The study was conducted during 2022 which observed various parameters, including plant height, days to first flowering, number of fruits per plant, fruit weight, fruit yield per plant, and fruit yield per hectare. Ten treatments were used, which include control, soil drenching of TA41 at various concentrations, and foliar spray of TA41. The results indicate that the application of TA41 through soil drenching and foliar spray significantly improved the growth, yield, and quality of tomato. The treatment with soil drenching of TA41 at 25 ml/L and foliar spray at 50ml/spray tank showed the highest fruit yield per plant and per hectare, as well as improved plant height and fruit weight. It also gave the highest Benefit - Cost Ratio. These findings suggest that the use of TA41 has great potential to enhance tomato production and may be an effective strategy for tomato farmers.
