Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The experiment was conducted at Patuakhali Sadar, Patuakhali and MLT site Amtoli, Borguna during the rabi season of 2019-20 to evaluate the performance of BARI-developed tomato varieties in the southern coastal region and to increase production of the farmers. BARI Tomato-18, BARI Tomato-19, BARI Tomato-20 and locally popular variety “Super” as check were compared the performance in farmers’ fields in the southern region (AEZ-13). Among the varieties, at both locations, Patuakhali Sadar and Amtoli BARI Tomato-18 produced the highest yield (72.83 t ha^-1) and (72.33 t ha^-1), respectively. BARI Tomato-20 gave the lowest yield (39.33t ha^-1 and 42.33 t ha^-1) at both locations.

Keywords: Tomato, Varieties, economic return , Coastal region

Location: Patuakhali Sadar, Patuakhali District and MLT site, Amtoli, Borguna District

Start Date: 25-11-2019

End Date: 07-04-2020

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Tomato

Objectives:

1. to evaluate the performance of BARI developed tomato varieties at southern coastal region under farmers’ field condition

2. to popularize the variety(ies) among the farmers

3. to increase production and economic return of the farmers

Methodology:

The trial was conducted at Patuakhali Sadar, Patuakhali and MLT site Amtoli, Borguna during Rabi 2019-20 with BARI Tomato-18, BARI Tomato-19, BARI Tomato-20 and locally popular variety “Super”as check. The trial was set up in a RCB design with 3 replication having unit plot size 8m × 5m and spacing was 60 cm × 40 cm. Transplanting and harvesting time at different locations were as follows.

#	Location	Transplanting time	Harvesting time
1	Patuakhali sadar, Patuakhali	26 December 2019	10 March to 7 April 2020
2	Amtoli, Borguna	21 December 2019	7 March to 6 April 2020

The land was fertilized with 90-75-45-45 kg N-P-K-S- ha^-1in the form of Urea, TSP, MoP, Gypsum, respectively along with 5.0 t ha^-1cowdung (BARI, 2019). One-third MoP and rest fertilizers except Urea were applied as basal during final land preparation. Remaining two-third MoP was divided into two split and applied at 25 and 40 days after planting (DAP). Urea was top dressed in three equal installments at 10, 25 and 40 days after planting (DAP). Other intercultural operations like trimming side curls, irrigation and weeding were done as and when necessary. Plant protection measures were taken as required. In addition, to protect the tomato tree from bending in the wind, ‘A’ shaped support was provided to the tree with bamboo sticks and dhaincha sticks. Yield and yield attributes were recorded properly.The data were statistically analyzed and means were separated by critical difference (CD) values at 5% level of significance.

Achievement/Findings:

The tomato var. BARI Tomato-18 performed better than other varieties in terms of yield potentiality due to their less pest and disease contagion. The crop is mainly grown on all types of farms and is an important source of cash income for farmers; however, this variety can be widely extended at farmers’ fields. Moreover, they will be able to preserve the seed of BARI improved varieties for cultivation next year.
