Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The data revealed that planting time on Nov.25 resulted in reasonable yield (21.9 to 56.9 t/ha) whereas very low yield (12.5-21.3 t/ha). The line TM-13 showed the highest yield as 50.8 t/ha at the maximum fertilizer level (RD 1.5) at Nov.25 planting date followed by 38.73 t/ha by TM-110 under the same fertilizer level.Binatomato-5 showed highest yield as 36.25 t/ha at the same higher fertilizer level. That mean, the fertilizer dose at late sowing dates should be updated.

Keywords: Transplanting date, Fertilizer, Tomato

Location: BINA sub-stations, Ishurdi

Start Date: 25-11-2006

End Date: 30-06-2007

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Tomato

Objectives:

The objective was to evaluate the yield performances of tomato mutant lines/variety as affected by late transplanting date and fertilizer level

Methodology:

Yield performance of two tomato mutants (TM-135 and TM-130) with a check variety (Binatomato-5) were assessed under three dates of transplanting (Nov.25, Dec.1 and Dec.10) and 3 levels of fertilizer (RD, RD 1.25, RD 1.5). The experiment was split-split plot design with three replications. The date of sowing was assigned in the main plot and the lines/variety were in the sub plot and the fertilizer levels were sub-sub plot. A unit plot size was 3 m x 2 m. The data were analyzed as per design used and means were compared by LSD.
