Abstract
Experiment was conducted at Vegetable Research Farm, Department of Vegetable Science and Floriculture, CSK Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya, Palampur during spring-summer 2016 and autumn-winter 2016-17 seasons to study the influence of spacing and pruning on growth characteristics, yield and economics of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) grown under protected environment. Plants spaced at 70 × 60 cm with 3 stems pruning had higher number of nodes/plant, number of fruits/plant, fruit weight, prolonged harvest duration and minimum internodal length. But plants spaced at 70 × 30 cm with 2 stems pruning had minimum days to 50 per cent flowering, minimum days to first harvest, maximum plant height, higher yield/m2 area, net returns and Output: input ratio. Based on results of the present study, plants spaced at 70 × 30 cm with 2 stems pruning are suitable for tomato growing under protected environment and were found to be productively and economically efficient.
