Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted at Ponnaniyar, Trichy, Tamil Nadu to investigate the performance of planting dates and nitrogen levels on tomato growth and yield during Rabi, 2016-17. The treatment combination comprised of four planting at bi-weekly interval [November 1^st (D₁), November 15^st (D₂), December 1^st (D₃) and December 15^st (D₄)] and three nitrogen levels [100 % RDN (N₁), 75 % RDN (N₂) and 125 % RDN (N₃)]. The treatments were evaluated in factorial concept of RBD and replicated thrice. It was found from the present investigation that growth and yield attributes were higher in early planted crops November 1^st (D₁) coupled with 125 % RDN (N₃).
