Abstract
A study was conducted with the objective to determine the effects of rooting hormones (IBA and NAA), cow urine and growing media on the performance of rooted cuttings of tomato. The experiment consisted of one tomato hybrid Palam Tomato Hybrid-1, three levels of IBA (50, 100 and 150 ppm) and NAA (250, 500 and 750 ppm), two levels of cow urine (5% and 10%) and two growing media (soilless and soil) arranged in randomized block design with three replications. Treatment CUC2G2 (CU = Cow urine, C2 = 10% and G2 = Soil) had a positive and significant effect on days to first flowering, days to first harvest, number of marketable fruits per plant, marketable fruit yield per plant (kg) and average fruit weight (g). Maximum plant height (cm) was obtained from treatment RH1C3G2 (RH1 = IBA, C3 = 150 ppm and G2 = Soil). Ascorbic acid content was significantly better in treatment RH2C1G1 (RH2 = NAA, C1 = 250 ppm and G1 = Soilless). Data indicated that there was no significant effect of different treatments on harvest duration (days), fruit firmness (kg/cm2), pericarp thickness (mm) and TSS (°Brix) in tomato fruits.
