Abstract:
A field study was conducted on Assessment of Organic and Inorganic Fertilizers on Physico-Chemical Properties of Soil of Tomato (Solanum Lycopersicum L.) Var. Pusa Ruby at the Soil Science & Agricultural Chemistry Research Farm of Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj during winter season 2020. The results obtained with highest Bulk Density, Particle Density, Percentage Pore Space, Water Retaining Capacity, pH, EC and there was significant increase in OC, Available Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium in T₈ [NPK@ 100% + Vermicompost@ 50%] than other treatments. It was also revealed that the application of NPK with vermicompost is an excellent way of improving yield of quality tomato under field conditions with greater cost benefit ratio and it will also improve the fertility of the soil.
