Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Two promising selections of tomato, STL-l and STL-3 were evaluated under different seasons for promising summer cultivation in Bangladesh. Results showed that September to November transplanted crops had higher number of fruit-set and yield compared to crops transplanted either earlier or late months. Summer planted crops (May-June) produced reasonable yield. During summer, STL-l and AVRDC line produced quite satisfactory yield within the range of 6.57 to 16.90 t/ha featuring possibility of being summer cultivar.

Objectives:

The objective of the study was to evaluate tomato lines under different seasons for promising summer cultivation in Bangladesh.

Methodology:

A field experiment comprising 8 different relay crops, was conducted at the BINA experimental farm to evaluate two promising lines of tomato in 8 different dates of transplanting (D 1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, D7 and D8 ) ar 30 day interval beginning 4 May, 1994 which continued up to 4 January, 1995 except 4 July 1994. Four variety/lines used in the study were STL-l (V1), STL-3 (V2), AVRDC line (V3) and Bahar (V4). The experiment was laid out in split-plot design with two replications assigning date of transplanting in the main plots and variety/lines in the sub-plots. Seedlings were transplanted in unit plots each measuring 3m×3m at 30 cm×30 cm spacing. The experiment plots were fertilized with N, P₂O₅, K₂O and S @ 200, 150, 100, 20 kg/ha in the form of Urea, TSP, MP and Gypsum, respectively together with cowdung @ 5 t/ha. Full amounts of P, K, S and cowdung and one half of the N fertilizer were applied at the time of final land preparation. Rest of the N fertilizer was applied in two equal splits, at 20 and 40 days after transplanting. Data on yield and yield attributes were recorded during and after harvest and were subjected to statistical analyses through MSTAT program.
