Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted at Horticulture farm, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka to study the effect of Chlorocholine chloride (CCC) on growth, morphophysiological parameters and yield of tomato at different moisture levels. The experiment consisted of three levels of Chlorocholine chloride viz.,F0 = Foliar spray with water (control), F1 = Foliar spray with 1000 ppm CCC and F2 = Foliar spray with 2000 ppm CCC and three levels of moisture levels as; I0 = 100% ET (Evapotranspiration) moisture, I1 = 80% ET moisture and I2 = 60% ET moisture. The two factor experiment was laid out in a Completely Randomized Design (RCBD) with 3 replications. In case of ET moisture levels, the highest fruit length (6.11 cm), fruit diameter (6.82 cm) and the highest total fruit weight plant-1 (1.23 kg) were recorded from 80% ET moisture and whereas for the highest number of fruits sets plant-1 (29.11), highest fruit length (6.40 cm), highest fruit diameter (6.73 cm) and the highest total fruit weight plant-1 (1.48 kg) were found with1000 ppm CCC. Application of 80% ET moisture and foliar spray of 1000 ppm foliar spray of CCC elicited fruit length (6.81 cm), diameter of fruit (7.21 cm) and total fruit weight plant-1 (1.27 kg) the highest yield compared to other treatment and seems to be the best combination for tomato production.

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Tomato

Objectives:

The present study was undertaken to determine the effect of chlorocholine chloride on growth, morpho-physiology and yield of tomato at different moisture levels.

Methodology:

Study area The research work was conducted at Horticulture Farm in Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University (SAU), Dhaka, Bangladesh. The experiment was carried out during Rabi season (November, 2014 to March, 2015). It was located in 24.09° N latitude and 90.26° E longitudes. The altitude of the location was 8 m high from the sea level (The Meteorological Department of Bangladesh, Agargoan, Dhaka).

Soil and plant properties The land belongs to the Agro-ecological zone “Madhupur tract” (AEZ-28) having the red brown traces soils and acid basin clay of Nodda soil series A high yielding tomato variety (BARI Tomato 14) was used as experimental material in the research work.

Experiment and treatment The experiment consisted of two factors: Factor A: three levels of CCC, i. I0: 100% ET (Evapotranspiration) moisture ii.I2 = 80% ET moisture iii.I3 = 60% ET moisture. Factor B: Chlorochorine chloride (CCC) i. F0: Foliar spray with water (control) ii. F1: Foliar spray with 1000 ppm CCC iii.F2: Foliar spray with 2000 ppm CCC. The experiment was laid out in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three replications. Soil was collected from a fertile land of SAU Horticulture farm and prepared it with recommended fertilizer dose treated with Sevin 50WP @ 5 kg/ha to protect the young plants from the damage of ants and cutworm. Plastic pots were used in this experiment. Gravimetric method was used to find out proper strategy to irrigate pot plants. Harvesting of fruits was started at 80 DAT and continued up to final harvest based on the marketable sized of fruits.

Data collection and analysis: The data were collected to assess plant growth, yield and yield attributes. The collected data from the experimental plot on morphology yield and yield contributing characters are compiled and analyzed using the Statistical, Mathematical Calculation and Data Management (MSTATC) package program. Morphological variation and yield performance among the treatments were studied by Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) by F-test by least significant difference (LSD) test at 5% and 1% level of probability (Gomez and Gomez, 1984).

Achievement/Findings:

Considering the findings of experiment, application of CCC were found to contribute positively almost all parameters in plants subjected to mild moisture stress, where at higher moisture stress with 1000 ppm CCC were not afforded to express suitable physiological performance. Under the present study, 80% ET moisture performed better for growth and yield parameters compared to lower water level. The combined effect I1F1 performed better on growth, yield and yield attributes of tomato than other treatment combination.
