Abstract
Reproductive biology provides information on life forms like rate of flowering, type of breeding system, plant-pollinators interaction, fruit and seed output, overall fitness and survival of the species. Present work has been focused to determine the effects of synthetic and organic fertilizers application on the growth parameters like stage of plant development, plant height, number of leaves, number of flowers, flowers to fruits conversion and %yield. Field experiments were conducted in the farms located in Jahangirabad area of Surat city from 2017 to 2018. Season for experiments was chosen between month of October to April where average low temperature of Surat ranges between 15°C-21°C and average high temperature ranges between 25°C-35°C. The treatments consisted of two different fertilizers namely synthetic inorganic fertilizer (SFT) consisting of NPK and organic fertilizer (OFT) chiefly consisting of cow-dung/buffalo-dung/poultry manure. Three plot of 30 x 02 sq. ft area was selected to grow 30 plants of Tomato. One plot was designated as Control group where no pre-treatment (CT group), one plot treated with SFT group and the other with OFT group. Results suggest that OFT treated plant showed increased plant height, quantity of leaves (per branch & plant) and its weight (fresh & dry), quantity of flowers and fruits, diameter and length of fruit, quantity and weight of seed per fruit, nutrition of fruit as compared to Control group and well comparable with SFT treatment. Thus, it is concluded that use of organic fertilizer is equally beneficial as compared to the inorganic fertilizer.
