Abstract
An experiment was conducted in the experimental field of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural
University, Dhaka during the period from October 2010 to March 2011 to find out the
effect of GA
and pruning on the growth and yield of tomato. The experiment consisted
of three doses of GA
3
such as 80, 100 and 120 ppm with control; three different
pruning levels such as 1, 2 and 3 stem pruning. The experiment was laid out in a RCBD
with three replications. Both GA
3
and pruning had significant influence on growth and
yield contributing characters of tomato. At 75 DAT, the highest plant height
3
3
spray at 120 ppm. At 75 DAT, the highest plant height
and 2 stem pruning
performed the highest yield
64
0
P
1
3
. So, 120 ppm GA
with 2
stem pruning may be used for higher yield of tomato.
