Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Two tomato lines CL-1d-0-1 and CL-143-0-10-3 were planted on 1st March, 3rd April and 9th May, 1983. Yield of the former line was 20.83 t/ha and that of tho later was 30.26 t/ha. Crops of March and April planting produced yields of 24.10 and 26.99 t/ha (mean of two planting dates ), respectively, while the crops of May planting produced no fruits.

Keywords: Performance, Lines, Time of planting, Tomato

Location: Central Research Station of Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Joydebpur, Dhaka

Start Date: 00-02-1983

End Date: 00-07-1983

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Tomato

Objectives:

To evaluate the performance of CL-ld-0-1 and CL-143-0-10-3 lines when planted in the later months.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at central research station of Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute Joydebpur, Dhaka during, the period from February to July, 1983. Two tomato lines, namely CL-1d-0-1 and CL-143-0-10-3 were used in the experiment. One month old seedlings were transplanted on 1st March, 3rd April and 9th May, 1983. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications. Cowdung, urea, triple superphosphate and muriate of potash were applied at the rate of 15 tons, 137 kg, 219 kg and 70 kg per hectare, respectively, The former two were applied at the time of final land preparation while the later two wore top dressed in two equal instalments at 20th and 45th day of transplanting. Plot size was 2.8x1. cm and the spacing used was 60x40 cm. Staking with bamboo sticks were given to the plants to keep them erect. Irrigation and other cultural operations were done as and when necessary. Harvesting was done from 28 April to 27 May and 27 May to 22 June for the 1st and 2nd planting, respectively. Plants of the 3rd planting did not bear any fruit.

Achievement/Findings:

Two plantings were statistically similar in number of fruits per plant. Extention of normal tomato picking period by about 3 months from April to late June, as was evident from the present experiments, may be considered as a breakthrough.
