ABSTRACT
A field experiment was conducted in the summer season of 2008 at experimental farm of Department of Vegetable Science, Dr. YS Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni- Solan, Himachal Pradesh to evaluate the effect of biofertilizers and organic manures on fruit and seed yield of tomato cv. Solan Vajr under mid-hill conditions as compared to recommended dose of NPK and control. Significant results were obtained for both fruit and seed yield of tomato. Amongst the organic amendments application of vermicompost recorded the highest fruit and seed yield followed by Azotobacter. It was also observed that highest fruit yield was obtained through application of NPK fertilizers; however it was at par with vermicompost treated plots.
Key words :
Azotobacter, biofertilizers, organic manures, Solanum lycopersicum, seed yield, tomato, vermicompost.
