Abstract
A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of nitrogen on the
growth and yield of BARI Tomato-2 and BARI Tomato-14 at Sher-eBangla
Agricultural University Farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural
University, Dhaka during the period from October 2014 to March 2015.
There were five nitrogen levels, viz., 0, 80, 100, 120 and 140 kg N ha
on
two varieties of tomato (BARI Tomato-2 and BARI Tomato-14). The
experiment was laid out in a RCBD with three replications. Varieties
showed significant influence on the growth and yield contributing
characters of tomato. Between two varieties, the plant height, number of
cluster per plant, flower per plant, fruit per plant, weight of fruit per plant
and yield were found highest in BARI tomato 14 as compared to BARI
Tomato-2. Nitrogen showed significant influence on the growth and yield
contributing characters of tomato. The plant height, number of cluster per
plant, flower per plant, fruit per plant, weight of fruit per plant and yield
were the highest when 120 kg N/ha was appnitrogen and Varieties also exhibited significant variation in all the yield
component and yield. The combination of 120 kg N/ha on BARI Tomato14
was produced the highest yield (47.83 t/ha) and lowest (30.15 t/ha)
from 0 kg N/ha on the BARI Tomato-2. lied. The combination of
