Abstract
The present investigation entitled “Effect of soil and foliar application of zinc sulphate and iron sulphate on growth, yield and quality of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)” was carried out at the Horticulture Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh during Kharif in 2022-23. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with 17 treatments and three replications with (hybrid TMTH-275). Different micronutrients (Zinc Sulphate and Iron Sulphate) were used in different (combinations and doses). (Among the various treatments significant results were shown by (T10 )Soil Application of (ZnSO4 @ 15Kg/ha + FeSO4 @ 15 Kg/ha) as best in terms of plant height (41.8 cm, 80.37cm, 110.8cm and 120.47 for 30,60,90 DAT and at harvest respectively.), days to first flowering (43DAT), days to 50% flowering (51.13 DAT), days to first harvest (86.13 DAT), number of flower cluster per plant (7.53), fruit set per cluster (7.43), polar diameter (63.13 mm), equatorial diameter (68.93 mm), number of fruit per plant (18.13), individual fruit weight (100.47g), average weight of 10 fruit (1004.67g), average fruit yield per plant (2.07Kg), total yield per plant (6.2 Kg), fruit yield per hectare (229.63 tonnes), TSS (6.070Brix) and ascorbic acid (20.3 mg/100g).
