Abstract
The experiment was carried-out in two consecutive years (2016–17 and 2017–18, respectively) at Vegetable Research Farm, Kalyanpur, Kanpur. This was consisted of four different dates of transplanting, viz., 15th October; 31st October; 15th November and 30th November along with four types of mulches (Black polythene, White poly polythene; Paddy straw and Control-without mulch) and the experiment was laid out with factorial randomized block design with following four objective: -find out the frequency of different dates of transplanting; observe the effect of different mulches; find out interaction of different dates and mulches and work out economics of above treatments of the experimentation. The present study revealed that the tomato seedlings transplanted on 30th October and application of paddy straw as mulch significantly increased the growth attributing traits viz.-plant height, number of branches (primary and secondary); flowering characters, viz.,-days to 50% flowering, number of flowers per inflorescence, inflorescence per plant, days taken to first and last harvest; yield attributing characters viz.-number of fruits per plant, fruit weight, marketable and non-marketable yield and total yield; quality characters viz.-fruit firmness, total soluble solids acidity and ascorbic acid content. This treatment combination also reduces the weed-intensity, weed bio-mass (fresh and dry weight), individual weed species at harvesting stage and disease intensity during both the years of experimentation. The seedlings transplanted on second date ie. 30th October and application of bio-mulch (paddy straw) found economically better than other treatments. The maximum benefit-cost ratio (3.73 and 3.86) was also found in 30th October transplanting as compare to control (without mulch)-2.75 and 2.85, respectively.
