| dc.description | Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) is one of the most widely grown important
nutritious vegetables in the world, belonging to the family Solanaceae. It was
originated in tropical America (Salunkhe e¢ al., 1987) particularly in Peru, Ecuador
and Bolivia of the Andes (Kalloo, 1986). Tomato is cultivated all over the country due
to its adaptability to wide range of soil and climate (Hoque ef al. 1999). Its food value
is very rich because of higher contents of vitamins A, B and C including calcium and
carotene (Bose and Som, 1990). | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | An experiment was conducted at the experimental field of Soil Science, Hajee
Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology University, Dinajpur during March
to June, 2011 to evaluate the effect of manures, fertilizers and lime application on
summer tomato. The experiment comprised five treatments- T, (cowdung), T
(chemical fertilizer), T; (lime), T, (poultry manure) and Ts (control). Application
of chemical fertilizer @ 550 kg N/ha, 450 kg P /ha and 250kg K/ha produced the
highest yield (35.9 t/ha) of tomato. Between the manures used, the highest yield
highest yield (23.35 t/ha) was obtained with the application of 1t /ha poultry
manure. Nutrient content in the plant varied remarkably with different treatments.
The NPK content of the plant was the maximum with application of chemical
fertilizer and the Ca content went to the peak due to the cowdung treatment. Soil
analysis result indicates that the NPK content was the maximum when soil was
treated with chemical fertilizer. | en_US |
