To investigate the effect of different levels of potassium fertilizer with
and without use of Farmyard Manure (FYM) on growth, yield and nutrition of tomato
a study was carried out in year 2011 in pots. FYM was kept as main plots with
five treatments of potassium (0, 60, 90, 120 and 160 kg K2O/ha) replicated four
time. The results indicated that application of FYM and various K levels had
significant effect on the growth, yield and nutrient content of tomatoes. The
highest yield of tomatoes was (39.05 t/ha) observed in the pots receiving FYM
and 41.97 t/ha was found in the treatment receiving K @ 120 kg/ha. The growth
parameters including number of flowers per plant, number of fruits per plant
and fruit diameter were also found significantly different by the application
of FYM and K fertilizer. The mineral nutrition of tomato showed significant
effect of FYM and K levels on plant P and K. FYM and K levels also significantly
improved soil K content. It may be concluded that the Potassium applied @ 120
kg/ha along with the FYM was effective in improving the tomatoes attributes
as well soil K content. |
