ABSTRACT
The present investigation on evaluation of organic inputs on soil health, yield, nutrient uptake, quality parameters and economics of tomato were conducted at the research farm of the Department of Soil Science and Water Management, Nauni, Solan during 2013 with ten treatments and three replications in an organic experiment and in a Randomized Block Design. The representative and composite soil samples were collected from depth 0-21 cms after the harvest of tomato. The studies were undertaken to investigate the effect of organic inputs on soil health, yield and quality of tomato in different treatment combinations. In the organic experiment, it was found that the soil health were best in T3 (20 t ha-1 vermicompost) and T10 (20 t ha-1 vermicompost and 10 t ha-1 FYM) treatments while, yield was best in T10 treatment where vermicompost and FYM were applied in the ratio of 20 t ha-1 and 10 t ha-1. The minimum values were recorded for all parameters in T1, where no organic inputs were applied. The highest tomato (352.79 q ha-) and straw (286.67 q ha-) yields of the system were obtained with the application of 20 t ha-1 vermicompost + 10 t ha-1 FYM, whereas, lowest obtained in plants having no organic inputs (control). A significant effect of organic inputs had been observed on the nutrient uptake by fruits and shoot. The maximum nutrient uptake was found in plants receiving 20 t ha-1 vermicompost + 10 t ha-1 FYM. Whereas, lowest in plants having no organic inputs. The B:C ratio, which is main criterion for adoption of technology was found highest in T2 where only 20 t ha-1 FYM input was applied. But in this experiment, it is also found that the soil health as well as yield optimization were best in T10 treatment.
